Parent Coaching

Available virtually on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 

I am a mother, sister, aunt, and daughter born and raised in Vancouver. 

I have completed two degrees from the University of British Columbia. An undergraduate degree in Linguistics (specializing in language acquisition in children) and a Master of Arts Degree in Special Education.

I have been an infant development consultant for 14 years and a Key Worker for the CDBC Program in the Lower Mainland for 11 years. I have certifications in STAT, a screening tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children, Watch, Wait, and Wonder, Group facilitation, and Developmental Parenting. I have developed groups for parents, children, and youth and facilitated trainings for school district personnel, ministry social workers, and foster parents.

I have a passion for working with caregivers of individuals with FASD. I believe in working collaboratively to expand understanding, help navigate systems, develop support systems, and find appropriate resources. Expanded knowledge of FASD and networking with other caregivers are necessary for families to feel supported and build strength and resiliency. 

In my work, I have found that “it takes a village to raise children” is especially true. I hope to help families find and develop their village.
