Coaching for Families

Helping parents navigate the enormity of raising children is an enormous privilege. I love sharing the resources I’ve gathered over the years. In addition to my scholarly research, I’ve trained with Dr. Suzi Tortora, RIE®, the Anna Freud Center, Sarah Lawrence College’s Early Childhood Center and I have done extensive research into the life and work of Emmi Pikler and Pikler Ház, all of which inform the way I work. I also have three children of my own and am grateful to have a deep and personal connection my work.
