A Lifelong Commitment to Empowering
Teens and Parents
My journey began as a teen when I faced the challenges of early parenthood after giving into the pressures of sex in high school. This experience fueled my passion for guiding teens and parents through the challenges and details of making informed choices and understanding their consequences.
Having overcome the obstacles of raising two teenage daughters, I am proud to maintain strong, loving relationships with them today. My career started as an abstinence presenter for the Pregnancy Resources Center, where I spent over a decade speaking in schools and engaging with teens about the importance of informed decision-making.
For more than 25 years, I've dedicated myself to understanding teens' perspectives and concerns, working closely with both teens and their parents. Now, I'm eager to share insights into the wild and wonderful teenage brain, helping you build or rebuild a meaningful connection with your teen.

MY MISSION
For over 25 years, I've listened to teens express their deepest desires for a meaningful connection with their parents. At the same time, parents often struggle to find the ways needed to build these relationships. I believe that both teens and parents share a common goal: to connect and communicate effectively with one another.
My mission is to empower parents to build and strengthen their relationships with their teens, helping them have open and honest talks about challenging topics like sex. Establishing a strong relationship is essential before any parent can have a real conversation with their teen.
