Before becoming a mom, I was a licensed family and play therapist. I spent years helping kids and parents reconnect through play—and I believed in it deeply.

But then I had kids of my own… and discovered that play didn’t always come easily. In the fog of postpartum, in seasons of sickness, and in the ups and downs of perimenopause—I felt the sting of disconnection from my kids, even though I loved them fiercely.

So I got curious. I started tweaking my tools to fit real life—messy mornings, sibling squabbles, and those days when I had absolutely nothing left in the tank. I learned how to make playful parenting feel doable and even fun for me, too.

Now, I help other parents do the same.

Whether you’re facing everyday big emotions, juggling transitions between two homes, or just craving more ease in the day-to-day—
…I’ll show you quick, connection-focused strategies that actually work, even when you’re running on fumes.

Let’s make parenting feel a little lighter… together.
