​Tell us about your occupation.

I created The Inside Out Parenting approach, a model that encourages parents to gain personal, internal clarity to receive parenting results they never thought possible with their ADHD child.

Why did you choose to go into your particular field of medicine/healthcare?

Your views on health in your own home?

We practiced conventional medicine peppered with some alternative methods.

The book that changed your life?

ALL Brene Brown books! Her very first one, The Gifts of Imperfection, is what started my journal to exploring my own mental health.

What is the most difficult aspect of your work for you to accept?

I have a difficult time leaving work at work. I always worry about my clients and how they are doing.

What are you most proud of/grateful for about your work?

I am most proud of my Inside Out Parenting Approach. I developed a parenting model, TRUE the Acronym for Powerful Questions, to help parents of ADHD children thrive. I want parents to feel their own self worth and not just their child's. I am very proud of this model and how much it has facilitated change for parenting an ADHD child.

Tell us something about the communities that you serve.

Occasionally you will get a client that blows your mind. You work with them week after week and you don't feel like progress is being made and you are researching ways to help them. Almost always, the second you feel hopeless or discouraged, it clicks with them! No matter how many times it happens, it always surprises and thrills me to see these results!

What is your go-to home-remedy for a cold?

Dayquil and lots of vitamin C

What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Always be the you, YOU want YOU to be and not the you THEY want you to be.

Is there a piece of music, composer or artist that gives you strength and/or healing?

Opera. I have my bachelors in Vocal Performance and I studied opera. I can relax and go to a different place when I listen.

What is your greatest strength as a provider?

I easily connect with all different people.

Car, bike, or...?
