Rupture to Repair

Secure relationships aren't about perfection, but about consistently repairing disconnections and returning to sync.

  • Conflict as discovery, not disaster

Why I Created This Program
β€œAfter 19 years of working with families in crisis, I realized something heartbreaking: most of the struggles I was seeing could have been prevented if parents had known about secure attachment earlier.”

This program isn't just my clinical knowledge - it's my personal journey, my family's transformation.

I can't promise you'll never have hard moments with your kids. But I can promise you'll have the tools to turn those moments into connection instead of disconnection.

Your children don't need a perfect parent. They need a parent who can show up, mess up, and repair. That's what I'll teach you to do.

Welcome to the journey. I'm honored to walk alongside you.
