About Me

I am an educator, coach, and founder of ORBs. I have spent years working in trauma-informed care and workforce development. My deepest belief is simple: parenting is the most important job in the world, and every parent deserves real support doing it.

I built ORBs because I kept seeing parents who were just carrying too much alone. The yelling, the shutdowns, the power struggles, they are signals. And once you understand what is underneath, everything changes.

I am here to walk alongside you, step by step, inside your actual family rhythm.
