Core Pillars

Through LBV services, families will gain supports to:

LEARN

playful connections and positive discipline,

BREATHE

intention into parenting, and

VENTURE

together in building resilient homes.

My why?

As an educator, I know the importance the role the family has in a child's life. When I became a mom, is when I truly realized the amount of energy it takes to parent children- the joys, and the challenges.

Love is the foundation in the home AND it takes continuous practice to grow as a family unit- mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. With LBV classes, workshops, events, support circles, or coaching you'll build your parenting capacity for when your motivation is both high and low while also being a part of an intimate community.

I'm here to support you on your parenting journey to become a confident caregiver and enjoy parenthood!

Let's cultivate love AND grow together!

About me


I'm a bilingual educator, coach, and circle-keeper with nearly 15 years of professional work experience in a variety of settings from early childhood education, K-12 classroom teaching, and mental health work. I blend research-based helping services and brain-based learning strategies to facilitate group classes and workshops.

I hold a Master's in Counseling and Human Services, a Positive Discipline Parent Educator Certification, and an advanced certificate of study in Multicultural Education; in addition to three teaching certificates in elementary and special education in Pennsylvania and New York.

I'm a wife, mother, part-time family and community educator for a non-profit in Hudson Valley, NY, and owner of LBV Family Development Services.
