My Why
Working with children has been my calling for as long as I can remember. I’ve been supporting little ones’ growth and development since I was a kiddo myself! As I’ve grown (literally and figuratively) in this line of work, I’ve discovered the best way I can help children thrive is by empowering their parents. Your role as a parent is one of the biggest, most rewarding, and most challenging jobs out there - and it deserves all the support in the world.
​
My understanding of children and what makes them tick goes far beyond my early childhood degree and countless hours of unpacking developmental research. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of hands-on caring for more than 200 children and working with over 100 families in their homes. Not only have I mastered the art of opening any baby gate on the market, more importantly, I’ve experienced first-hand that no two families are the same. Every child’s needs are different, and navigating those wobbly early years requires a unique approach - and a whole lot of flexibility - to meet each individual where they are at, parents and children alike.​
​
This is why I created RaisedWith - to give parents the tools, guidance, and encouragement they need to navigate and enjoy the incredible journey of raising happy and capable children. Through personalized support, practical strategies, and a whole lot of heart, my goal is to help your family thrive in a way that feels authentic to you. Because when parents feel supported and equipped, children flourish - and that’s a win for everyone.

The RaisedWith Difference
Connection
at the Core.
Above all else, my goal is to help foster a strong, meaningful connection between parents and their children. Because beyond the game plans, toolkits, and goal-posts, it’s all about building positive relationships.
Informed by Science, Grounded in Reality.
Whole-Family
Focus
Your family is a team, and everyone’s needs matter - including yours! The most functional, sustainable households prioritize the whole family, not just the littlest members. Trust me on this one, when you remember that you are also a human with priorities, your children will reap the rewards!
I love a good peer-reviewed study as much as the next expert. But let’s be honest - none of us live in a laboratory, and sometimes reality overshadows the scientifically “best” choice. Let’s keep our parenting authentic by blending science with our innate tools like intuition and discretion.
Action-Oriented
Guidance
Say goodbye to the endless stream of child development tips that feel impossible to implement in real life. All the helpful advice in the world won’t make a difference if it’s stuck in theory. Personalized, ongoing guidance with actionable strategies is the key to real change!
