I have a unique perspective on parenting (and parent coaching!) that is very intentional, collaborative, and actually includes our children in the solutions! I have a very conscious, connected approach with the parent-child relationship being the center of the family and what's most important. Together we can heal, find solutions, and create a more intentional relationship with your children.

Get My "Tech Reset Agreement" as seen on the Today Show

This agreement will support parents of tweens and teens with screentime and device conflicts at home by giving them and the children a way to come together and develop the limits and boundaries for screen time collaboratively. It reflects positive screentime values for families and shows them all the areas to discuss with their children being clear on when they will get off devices and then everyone signs it and they have it to refer to as needed.

Join my Email Family for tips, strategies, and offers to support you & your family!

Prioritize connection over technology and change your tween/teens perspective regarding their devices.
