I am a Responsive Parenting and Sleep Coach and a passionate advocate for development, attachment, and trauma healing. I focus exclusively on supporting parents and caregivers. As the longest-serving parent coach in Maryland, I have worked with families for over 20 years!
I hold masters degrees in Social Work and Education and have extensive training in neuroscience and family support programs. Trainings and certifications include: Strengthening Families, the Nurturing Parenting Program, Hand in Hand Parenting, SPACE, NARM, and Child Passenger Safety. I am also a WikiHow Expert Co-Author and am releasing my first book in January!
I started my career working with underserved, young, and single parents in Baltimore. After nearly a decade in the non-profit world, I made the shift to private practice in order to begin homeschooling my oldest child. Since then, I have carefully honed my skills understanding and serving parents and it's been humbling to watch the business blossom over the years.
As a mom of 3, I practice what I teach every single day. I strive to parent in a way that keeps my children anchored in the safety of our family while supporting their exploration and growth. I live in Baltimore with the love of my life, my two youngest children, and an ever-growing menagerie of pets (including 5 axolotls). I LOVE coffee, enjoy hiking, and have never met a pie I didn't like. You can find me visiting national parks or studying dinosaurs. Our family recently took a trip to Utah and Colorado to explore the Dinosaur Diamond Highway. It was exciting to touch so many authentic dinosaur fossils!

I work exclusively with parents and grandparents. It's all I do! And it's what I have done for my entire career.
I take a developmental approach (instead of a behavior modification one). This means that I don't rely on rewards or consequences in my work (or as a parent). Instead, I help parents understand and address the root cause of behavior so that lasting change can be achieved.
I truly understand neurodivergent brains (and how to support them).
I specialize in empowering families with concrete tools and skills that work.
I am honest and willing to challenge my clients (you're here to learn). I take an active role in helping families identify the barriers to regulation and executive functioning.
I have been a parent for over 20 years and parent both biological and bonus children (at least one of whom has a neurodivergent brain). I've also parented through a variety of circumstances (including being a young, single mom), so I really get what it's like to parent in the deep end.
I'm still just as passionate about working with parents as I was when I started studying child development and attachment over 20 years ago!
I am honored to help parents across the world over the past few years.
Thank you for trusting me with your most precious cargo--your family!
Parenting Works is deeply committed to
practices that affirm identities, prioritize lived experiences, and celebrate diversity.

Parenting Works operates on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples. These Indigenous nations have stewarded the lands and waterways of this region for countless generations, long before these peoples faced colonization, slavery, violence, murder, and displacement initially at the hands of European settlers, and then by citizens of the United States of America.
We honor the enduring presence, resilience, and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples across the Mid-Atlantic region and throughout Turtle Island (North America). We recognize that this land continues to hold cultural, spiritual, and historical significance for Indigenous communities today.
We also commit to deepening our understanding of the histories that have shaped this place, to supporting Indigenous self-determination, and to fostering relationships rooted in respect, reciprocity, and responsibility.
