Experience:
I’ve been involved in child and family welfare for
over 20 years as a direct services provider, board member,
school and community volunteer, and a Court-Appointed Special
Advocate to a child in foster care. As a PCI Certified Parent
Coach, I successfully completed a 12-month graduate-level
training program (see www.ParentCoachingInstitute.com) and
have provided over 100 hours of coaching to parents. Finally,
I’ve conducted workshops regarding parenting and the
use of Appreciative Inquiry in working with families. Read

In addition, I’ve worked on numerous research studies,
including two research projects at Stanford University, one
focusing on the development of morals in children and one
studying homeless families. In addition, I was the Senior
Research Associate at the American Institutes for Research
for various projects including self-determination in children,
the effectiveness of magnet schools, and promoting opportunities
for disabled students. Finally, as a Senior Analyst at Berkeley
Planning Associates, I completed a four-year study of families
involved in child abuse and neglect, a research project of
adolescent support services, and a study regarding health
care. I’m currently conducting a study to document the
wisdom of parents of gifted adult females.

PAST CLIENT EXPERIENCES
“Thanks so much for your coaching this past year. My
relationship with my children, my girlfriend, and even my
ex has improved so much. I’m learning how to prioritize
my self-care and I’m getting better at it every day.”
--a single dad with two pre-teen children/Palo Alto, CA
“I wanted to thank you again for all your support and
love especially during the trying times of my cancer treatments.
You came into my life to practice your coaching skills and
you helped keep me afloat during one of the most difficult
times of my life. I will never forget the joy and laughter
we managed during those sessions. You have been an inspiration
and tear catcher. I will always be grateful to you.”
--mother of two young adults/Maui, HI
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking me
on as a coaching client. You helped me do some soul searching
to decide who I wanted to be as a person as well as a parent.
You guided me along through many rough spots and always were
a sympathetic ear when I described my many problems and issues.
I believe you truly have a gift….you are a great listener
and offer very sound, constructive advice.”
--mother of two elementary school age children/Menlo Park,CA
“The way you took my jumbled thoughts and concisely
summarized them as a means for reflection and growth was so
helpful to me….and as a visual learner, it helped to
receive your summaries via e-mail after each call. I felt
like I had my own personal cheerleader because of your listening
ear, helpful feedback and guidance and all your words of encouragement.”
--mother of a toddler/Palo Alto,CA
