She believes that every child is unique and deserves to be raised properly and enjoy a happy and trauma-free childhood. That’s why she dedicated her career to help parents by giving them practical strategies, tips, and action plans to use during challenging moments so they can effectively manage their children's undesired behaviors and their relationships with them!
