Alongside my degrees (Bachelor’s in Psychology + Master’s in Education from UCLA) and my 30+ year career in Behavior Analysis (Board Certified), I am a mother who’s been through it with my children 😮‍💨

Without my awareness, I was in a chronic state of fight or flight when my children were young. Dissociated, dysregulated, and in deep emotional pain, I didn’t know how to attune to the deeper needs of each of my children. All these years later (my babies are now 22 and 26), I am profoundly grateful for the gifts of nervous system support and relational repair.

My nothing-will-ever-be-the-same moment happened in about 2008 at the kitchen counter, right next to the microwave in front of the small window. Just before raising my voice at my son, I paused first and asked myself, “What are you making his behavior mean?” The answer came right away. I was making it mean, “I don’t respect you, Mom. I don’t even know if I love you.” OUCH. It was the “truth” my body had been running on for longer than I even knew.

That pause was just the first step. Then I learned to ask myself other questions. I also learned to slow waaaay down (not easy when your nervous system was wired for hypervigilence), listen to the intelligence of my body, and actually trust it with changed behavior.

Out of all the pain that existed even before my son was born — because my rage and grief as a child had no soft place to land — I created a system of support to help other moms like us.

I help parents see and rewire the patterns driving their hardest moments . . . with their children, students, and spouses—using real-time pattern recognition, nervous system mapping, and personalized support.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, constantly “on,” or stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter what you try. . .

You’re not doing it wrong.

You’re in a nervous system loop that hasn’t been named yet.

I help you name the loop and show you the way through in my Regulated Family Strategy Sessions.

Your body has been moving in protective patterns for many moons— likely since your own early childhood.

When you begin to unravel those patterns, it’s not just your parenting that changes. Your whole life can start to feel new.
