Parent coaching & Workshops
What is in your parenting tool box? How do we raise children to be respectful, confident and critical thinkers; children who value themselves, are mindful of others, and the world they live in? Workshops are designed to help parent develop strategies to empower their children and themselves to live by our highest value.
Workshops are experiential and provide parents with tools to deal effectively with meltdowns, engage cooperation, encourage autonomy, teach self-calming, establish effective family meetings, decrease sibling rivalry, diffuse power struggles and build strong relationships based on love and mutual respect. Join me as we journey towards sharpening parenting skills in order to arm our children with the fortitude to withstand the pressures of childhood and adolescents. Individual and group workshops available.

staff training
If your organization is looking to create a more peaceful and inclusive environment for employees, you’ve come to the right place. I work with organizations, schools and teams to create a culture of peace and mutual respect in the workplace, where all individuals regardless of race, gender, ability, feel a sense of belonging and significance and are committed to contributing to the success of the organization. Workshops include Conflict Resolution and Restorative Justice Practices.
Theraputic Groups
As an occupational therapist, I am trained to coach and educate parents about developmental milestones, self awareness, self regulation, communication and social emotional skills. I provide social skills groups for children and youth where children work on their strengths and learn to feel confident and in control. Participants use their whole bodies and senses to engage in socio-dramatic play, creative group projects, group discussions, and games to develop social-emotional skills, reduce anxiety and develop healthy self esteem. Children explore how their senses can be a useful tool to detect and read their own internal feelings/emotions and gain strategies to help navigate their environment and express themselves appropriately. Some programs are offered through New Era Creative Space an educational enrichment center for children and youth.
