My Approach to Helping

As a Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (LBA, BCBA) & Family Alignment Coach with over 24 years of experience, I’m confident I can assist your family in creating more connection, collaboration, and calm in your home.

Through my signature Family Alignment Program, I help families navigate the complex, often overwhelming world of child development and behavior. You know that feeling when you see a child light up with understanding, or when a family finally experiences a peaceful dinner together? That's what drives me every single day. I've had the privilege of witnessing thousands of these transformative moments through teaming up with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other dedicated professionals.

I've also seen firsthand how challenging it can be to parent in today’s world - from the frustration of persistent behavior issues to the worry that comes with cognitive delays, and the heartache of watching a child struggle socially. But here's the thing - I've also seen the incredible resilience of children and the transformative power of the right support.

What makes my approach unique? I don't just see behaviors, I see a one-of-a-kind human with their strengths, challenges, and boundless potential. Together, we'll craft a family plan that's as unique as your family, focusing on building connections, fostering understanding, and creating a loving environment. Reach out for a free consultation. I’d love to hear more about your family and I’d be honored to have the opportunity to be part of your team.

Groups I Work With

    I'm a Family Alignment Coach with 24+ years of experience guiding parents through the challenges and joys of raising children. I combine my experience in behavior analysis, education, and meditation to create personalized parenting plans that help families connect, communicate more effectively, and co-create a life they love. When I'm not supporting families, you'll find me hiking, camping, meditating, or practicing yoga at my local studio in Encinitas, California.
