Meet Andrea

When my son Matthew was 5, I left my career as a lawyer to run a full time homeschool program for him. During our 8 years as a homeschool team, I studied and utilized many different therapies and techniques, and discovered that despite the differences, these methods have common principles that offer effective parenting solutions. I also learned that parents can be an essential source of advice and support for each other.

When my son returned to school, I wanted to create a program to streamline the process for parents to learn these strategies and gain functional tools. I wanted to empower parents to meet parenting challenges, increase confidence, and reduce parenting stress. I returned to school to obtain my Masters in Education (M.S. Ed.) to help me develop an integrated program of education and support for parents. I also became a certified trainer to help me facilitate the program.

As parents, we are often bombarded with too much information and too few effective solutions. My goal is to offer parents a few effective strategies with a focus on how to implement those methods in real time, in real circumstances.
