About Denise

As a licensed school psychologist, a certified parent coach, and a mom of three, I know first-hand how hard and rewarding raising kids can be. My work with parents is grounded in my belief that children and parents want to do their best and that any parent’s deepest desire is to raise healthy kids. My extensive training enables me to support you in your efforts to learn proven parenting approaches tailored to your and your family’s unique strengths.

I believe that showing parents how to leverage their strengths can lead to more effective parenting and bring back joy to stressed families. While my background as a school psychologist and my continuing education in the field of positive parenting provide me with expertise in many areas, you are the expert on your child. Within the coaching relationship, we will work as a team to find durable solutions that work for you and your family.

We all go through some type of challenge while raising kids; through the process of coaching, you will feel less alone and more supported, including navigating outside systems and influences that are involved with our kids. With over twenty-eight years’ experience as a school psychologist, I also provide the unique ability, if needed, to partner with families as they navigate the often-daunting various educational systems.
