About Me

Hi, I'm Betsy
I love getting to know people—especially children and their parents.
I've always been deeply empathetic and curious about families, their dynamics, and what makes each one unique. I'm a deep listener, an empath, and a natural problem-solver, dedicated to helping your family feel more connected, calm, and at peace.
I am originally from Buffalo, grew up in Miami, and now live in San Diego with my husband, David, our teenage son, Eli, and our two calico cats, CeeCee and Joey.
After years in the classroom and as a school director, I am honored to walk alongside families as a Parenting Coach, offering grounded, compassionate support.

My Commitment
Calmer, more connected families
The mission of Peaceful Parenting with Betsy is to guide parents in creating calmer, more connected relationships through self-regulation, compassion, and practical tools that work immediately.
I support parents in understanding their child's emotional world, strengthening respectful communication, and building confidence in their own parenting.
With a focus on peaceful, respectful strategies, I empower parents and caregivers to navigate challenges with clarity and connection—so both children and parents can thrive.
“Betsy is insightful and knowledgeable about parenting, and was extremely empathetic when I was hard on myself.”~ Traci, mom of two boys, 9 and 11
