About
Growing up, I was the smart, fun girl on the outside and a frantic, anxious mess on the inside. I spent years healing the pain of dysfunctional family relationships, including eating disorders and a suicide attempt, to break the cycle raising my own teen boys.
My passion is empowering parents to build healthy, respectful relationships with their teens without giving up or giving up, even if they've tried everything and are at their wits end. I've poured everything I learned from my childhood, therapy, coaching training and certification, and raising children into my online programs so other parents (and teens) don't feel so alone.
My online audience as grown to over 580K followers and I've been featured in the New York Post, ABC Nightly News and on the Rachael Ray Show.
Today, I live in the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada and enjoy dancing (Zumba), yoga, paddle boarding, hiking and snowshoeing and connecting. She enjoys close relationship with her 2 incredible sons, now 19 and 21.
