Whether you want to improve your relationship with your children, make a shift in how you parent, or just learn to feel more at peace with the parenting journey, I’m here to support you in this process.


My orientation is toward an ethic of radical inclusion & acceptance. My approach in all that I do is compassion-focused, with a nonviolent and trauma-informed lens. I facilitate parenthood exploration workshops, host grief rituals, and support clients 1:1 through coaching subscriptions and individual sessions.

Only you know your parenting aspirations.

What kind of parent do you want to be? What qualities do you want to foster in your child? Let’s help you align your values and goals with your parenting practice.

 

Your relationship with your children is the focus

There’s nothing your child needs more than to relax into the safety of your unconditional acceptance and support. I’m here to help you prioritize this need.

When children can relax into the safety of guaranteed unconditional love, everything else can grow.

What I offer:

Parenthood Exploration Workshops

This is a community-focused hybrid offering, falling somewhere between support group and workshop. At each session, you’ll be invited to reflect on a specific topic, and together we’ll explore feelings, expectations, perceptions, limitations, fears, vulnerabilities, or whatever comes up for you within a container of safety, acceptance, and compassion, guided by up-to-date knowledge of relevant research on human needs and development.

We will rotate through many topics, such as these examples below and many others!

  • Fostering Radical Inclusion From the Beginning

  • Aligning Parenting Goals with Outcomes

  • The Depletion of Parenthood: Doing The Work of 4 People

  • Feelings as Status Reports on Needs

  • Teaching Children Our Values Without Shame or Coercion

  • Who You Are is What You Teach

  • Re-calibrating Our Expectations of Our Children: Improving Our Bond, Reducing Anxiety & Shame

  • The Role of Adults in Children’s Play

  • Radical Acceptance of Feelings

  • Listening Deeply to Our Children’s Needs

  • Becoming the Person Your Children Need: Why It Must Be You (Not Peers)

  • Leaning into Our “Mistakes” as Opportunities to Model Grace

  • Leaving Behind Rewards & Punishments: Shifting to a Collaborative Approach that Models Respect for All

Grief Rituals

I follow in the footsteps of Francis Weller in accepting the importance of grief rituals as “core soul hygiene”. He says it is grief that allows our hearts to remain open to love, that it is “only when we deny grief's entry into our lives that we begin to compress the breadth of our emotional experience and live shallowly.”

Grief rituals are small, in-person gatherings (roughly 8-12 people) that last for several hours and take us deep into our shared vulnerability in a safe space. On the day you participate in a grief ritual, it’s best to reserve the day exclusively for the ritual.
