How I Help
Supporting both parents and children to create harmonious family dynamics through sensory and nervous system understanding.
For Parents
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your child's emotions or feel shame or distress with your responses such as yelling or snapping? Do you find yourself struggling to stay calm when your child is in distress?
Do you find it difficult to manage self-regulation, parenting, and family needs while navigating your own brain neurodivergence?
I help parents understand their own nervous systems so they can respond rather than react to challenging situations.
For Children
When parents understand their own regulation needs, they're better equipped to support their children.
Once you understand this for yourself, you can more easily recognize your child's unique sensory needs and provide tools and co-regulation to help them thrive in all environments.

About Me
I am a Native New Mexican and have been a pediatric occupational therapist in our state for nearly a decade, graduating with my masters from UNM. After years of working with families, I observed how parents were struggling with their own regulation while trying to support their children.
When becoming a parent myself, I realized the full complexities of balancing work, relationships, self-care, and parenting. It has become my mission to teach sensory and neuro-wise parenting and self-regulation skills.
Read My Full StoryFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sensory & neuro-wise parenting.
How is this different from traditional parenting support?
Traditional parenting support often focuses mostly on the child's behavior. The majority often note that the parent must be calm to support the child, but support for how to maintain or even develop self-regulation skills in parents is rarely addressed. My approach addresses the parent's nervous system first, understanding that regulation starts with you. By learning about your own sensory processing and nervous system responses, you're better equipped to support your child.
Do I need to have a 'difficult' child to benefit?
Not at all! Every parent and child can benefit from understanding their unique sensory and nervous system needs. This approach helps create more harmonious family dynamics regardless of your child's temperament.
What can I expect from working with you?
You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your child, practical tools tailored to your family's unique needs, and ongoing support to implement lasting changes in your home environment.
Will you be working directly with my child(ren)?
No. My classes and consultations are currently geared to support the parents in self-regulation skills. The idea is that once parents can understand this process for themselves, they are more easily able to support their child's needs and apply their own learnings to their children.
How quickly will I see results?
Many parents report feeling more empowered and validated after just one session or workshop. However, creating lasting change is a process because we are having to "re-wire" the brain–and for some, this is re-wiring a lifetime of stressors. Each individual is unique and the process is dependent on a variety of factors internally and externally, which can impact results and the length of the process. Many parents enjoy that I teach foundational skills so they do not have to rely on me for in-depth continued support as they learn and grow.
