By managing and reducing your stressors – you can create a simpler, less stressful family life.

I help parents find ways to end the overwhelm.
This isn’t just about coping with stress differently.
This is about stressor management: managing your stressors differently.

Reduce your family’s stress.
Parents today face so many stressors:
- Parenting challenges
- Not spending enough time with their family
- Not having enough time after work for house chores and laundry
- Finding time for self-care – a nap, reading for pleasure,
taking a walk
Have you ever said to yourself:
“I’m tired of losing my patience and yelling at my child.”
“I feel like I’m running on empty.”
“I’m so mad at myself. I’m always rushing to pick up my child.”
“I love my family, and I love my work. In all the chaos, though, I feel like I’m losing myself.”
You are doing everything you can to hold it together.
You work hard, care deeply, and still feel like there’s never enough time, energy, or patience.
You love your family, and yet some days being loving is hard.

- Feel PRESSURED TO BE PERFECT at home and at work.

I remember when my children were young and how hard it was for me to be a working parent and my trying to “do it all.” I was so stressed, almost all of the time.
I know what it is like to want to be perfect at home with my family and at work.
One of the worst days was when we all pulled into the driveway and saw that our front door was standing wide open. Amidst all of the rush that morning, I had forgotten to close and lock the door. I wanted to cry. Thankfully, our family and home were safe. That moment still haunts me when I think of what could have happened.
EVERY FAMILY HAS ITS CHALLENGES.
When I became a parent, I found that parenting was very challenging. It did not come naturally for me. I had to seek out guidance and support to help me parent the way that I had always dreamed of.

I wanted to cry. Thankfully, our home was safe. That moment still haunts me when I think of what could have happened.
I found that I needed encouragement and support to help me manage those early years. With this support I was able to discover what worked best for me and then take action to make life better. It changed the way that I cared for my family and for myself.
Now that I am a parent of two grown sons, I still seek out ways to have a better relationship with each of them. I think I always will.
I’ve seen firsthand in the lives of the families that I have worked with how parents, adult children, and grandparents can get stuck in patterns of misunderstanding and frustration.
Because of my life experiences I am inspired to help those who want their family relationships to feel better.

“I think I love you more.”
