About Me

My professional journey began in the world of music and evolved into a dynamic career on Wall Street as an equity sales trader. While I thrived amidst the energy and challenges of finance, a deeper calling inspired me to seek a path where I could impact lives more directly.

My experience as a parent—especially after welcoming my fourth child—opened my eyes to the profound joys and struggles of raising a family. Facing my own parenting challenges, I realized that so many others felt the same need for support and guidance. This passion led me to become a Certified Parent Coach® through the Parent Coaching Institute at Seattle Pacific University.

Since then, I’ve helped countless parents and families live with greater alignment to their dreams: building stronger connections, responding to difficulties with confidence, and savoring life’s small but meaningful moments. My coaching specializes in supporting families with children from toddlers through young teens, using the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) method as the foundation for positive change. This framework, which guides clients to discover strengths and possibilities, makes transformation not only attainable—but sustainable.

In addition to my coaching work, I am the co-founder of Ok to Delay, a movement dedicated to supporting families who choose to postpone introducing smartphones to children and tweens. Rooted in the belief that delaying technology use can help preserve childhood, foster healthier development, and strengthen family connections, the movement has become an empowering resource for parents seeking community and reassurance in navigating this modern challenge.

I’m also the author of Parenting with Ease: How to Use an Appreciative Mindset to Create the Life You Want with Your Child. The book reflects my belief that joy and confidence in parenting are within reach for everyone, and that a shift in perspective can unlock ease, empowerment, and fulfillment in daily family life.

Parenting, to me, is both an adventure and an honor; it’s a journey that can be rich with connection and meaning, even amidst its challenges. My mission is to help each parent I work with find new levels of confidence, joy, and ease—one appreciative step at a time.

I live in Darien, CT with my husband and four children, grateful every day for the opportunity to walk beside parents on their own meaningful journeys.
