I don’t say this lightly, but this kind of work can change a child's life.

Social conflicts disrupt academic engagement, creativity, and innovative thinking for targets, bystanders, and aggressors.

The Research - Based Solution I Created
The 4R Framework
Kids learn to RECOGNIZE toxic patterns before they cause lasting damage RESPOND with confidence and calm RECOVER quickly without carrying scars RISE ABOVE as an upstander who creates positive change.
This isn't just about surviving school, it's about giving kids emotional regulation and communication skills that will serve them in every relationship they'll ever have:
- With their closest friends today
- With their siblings at home
- With their future partners
- With their eventual colleagues
- One day, with their own children
I care deeply about this work because I've seen the situation form many sides. I've been the 11-year-old who didn't know why her "best friend" suddenly turned cold. I've been the mother consoling a child who felt left out and alone. I've been the educator sitting with a student who asked, "What's wrong with me?" when the real question was "What's wrong with the other child who is behaving this way?" I've also been the school counselor who watched a child transform from confused to confident, from reactive to regulated when given the right tools.
Transformation is possible for your child too.
Whether you're a parent trying to help your child or an educator seeking effective strategies, I'm here to help.
I bring:
- 20+ years of hands-on experience with children ages 3-18
- Master's degree in Education with speciation in counseling
- Personal understanding as both a mother and someone who's been there
- Research-backed approaches that actually work
- Deep compassion for both targets and aggressors
- Practical tools you can use immediately
Together, we can teach kids the skills we wish we’d learned sooner, how to move through relationships with confidence, kindness, and resilience.

Help your child go from hurt to healed
Ages 8-14 are when patterns form. Teach your child NOW, during the peak years of relational aggression, and they'll never carry the wounds so many adults still have. Research shows kids who learn these skills early have better mental health, stronger relationships, and higher life satisfaction into adulthood.
