I am a mother of three and a guide for parents seeking a calmer, more intentional home and family life. For more than fifteen years, I’ve worked at the intersection of child development, psychology, and family rhythms. My years as a school psychologist taught me how children learn and how much a child’s environment shapes their experience. Motherhood taught me how family life really works, the beauty, the overwhelm, the pivots, and the little moments that matter most.

I created Rooted Within because I kept noticing a need for grounded support that honored families’ real, everyday lives. Parents wanted guidance that supported their regulation and helped home feel steadier and more connected. I wanted to offer a way of working that felt practical and rooted in who families truly are, providing support that meets the whole child and the whole family where they are.

In my work, I blend developmental understanding with lifestyle practices, simple routines, and attuned guidance to help parents feel steady and resourced in their everyday life. As a licensed educational psychologist, I also offer integrative evaluations when they are helpful. The heart of all my work is guiding families toward something simple and connected, grounded in everyday life and aligned with their values.

Whether you’re here for reflections on Substack, one to one support, or a gentler approach to family life, thank you for being here. I hope this space feels like a place to land.
