About Me

The guidance I offer caregivers is grounded in my belief that, as adults, we have a responsibility to help children build the strongest physical, emotional, social, and spiritual foundation possible and that bringing out the best in our children requires us to bring out the best in ourselves.

I Raised My Children Moving Across Three Continents

On a personal level, I am well acquainted with issues relating to family relocation, separation and divorce, grief and loss, adoption, blended and stepfamilies, learning differences and the everyday challenges that go with parenting unique human beings in an unpredictable and ever-changing world.

I Worked as an International School Counsellor Across all Grade-Levels

Professionally, I have many years of experience as an international school counsellor, working with children of all ages as well as parents with children in all developmental stages.
