Kristine brings over 14 years of experience supporting parents and families through a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and practical strategies. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Monmouth University, a master’s degree from William Paterson University, and advanced certification in Board Certified Behavior Analysis from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. In addition, she is a certified school counselor and a seasoned special education teacher with more than 10 years in the classroom.
With 7 years as a BCBA and extensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Kristine has dedicated her career to helping families understand the “why” behind their children’s behavior. Her coaching approach is rooted in partnership—working side by side with parents not only to address challenges in the moment, but also to build lasting strategies that foster independence, confidence, and connection.
Kristine believes that when parents gain a deeper understanding of executive function skills such as organization, planning, impulse control, and emotional regulation, they are better equipped to create calmer, more supportive home environments. Her goal is to empower parents with tools they can use every day, leading to reduced conflict, stronger family connections, and a foundation for their children to thrive.
