About me
I’m a certified parenting educator, parent coach, founder of Heart & Honey, and mother of twin daughters.
Before becoming a parent, I spent years working as a professional nanny with families around the world. I saw how differently families could approach raising children—and how much their cultures, histories, relationships, and everyday circumstances shaped that experience.
Becoming a mother brought those questions much closer to home. I knew I wanted my children to feel safe, understood, and able to be themselves. I also discovered how much support it takes to put those intentions into practice when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or unsure what your child needs.
My training through the Jai Institute for Parenting and Positive Discipline helped me connect those intentions with practical skills. Perhaps most importantly, my experience raising children with different needs continues to deepen that understanding.
What I bring to our work
I’m interested in what’s happening beneath the parenting question—what your child is experiencing, what comes up for you, and the pattern you keep getting caught in together.
The child who keeps saying no. The parent who feels their anger rising. The sibling who gives up what they want to keep the peace. The parents who both care deeply but keep getting caught in the same argument.
We slow those moments down so we can understand them and find another way through.
Together, we explore development, regulation, expectations, boundaries, and the experiences you bring to parenting. We make space for cultural and generational differences, neurodivergence, and the practical realities of your life.
Connection with room to be yourself
I want children to know that their feelings and voices matter—and to learn that other people have feelings, needs, and limits too.
I want parents to feel confident offering support, holding boundaries, and allowing their children to be separate people. You can stay connected through disappointment, disagreement, and difference.
That takes practice. We work on recognizing overwhelm, responding with greater intention, navigating challenges from a place of calm confidence, and finding your way back to each other after hard moments.
Why Heart & Honey?
The name holds what I value in this work: love, understanding, and room for the sweetness of family life, even when things are complicated.
You deserve support that helps you understand your family and gives you something useful to try when tomorrow morning gets hard.
