Many parents feel torn between daily demands and the desire to connect with their families. Screens often become a distraction, pulling parents away with notifications and multitasking, while children model these habits as screens are used to keep them entertained or quiet. Though convenient in the moment, this can lead to emotional struggles when it’s time to set devices down, leaving children overstimulated and parents feeling frustrated and disconnected. What if there was a way to break this cycle—fostering meaningful connections while helping everyone regulate emotions and set healthier boundaries with screens?

Hey there!

I'M ALICIA!

Here's my story  ➝

I mentor families overwhelmed by the noise of everyday life, helping them minimize distractions, align family life with personal values, and foster meaningful connections.

As a wife, mom of two rainbow babies (and three in heaven), and a practicing mental health professional, I understand the struggle of balancing life’s demands while seeking peace and connection. Through my own journey of grief, career shifts, and parenting, I’ve seen how easily overstimulation takes over—and how often screens become a default escape. But I’ve also learned that small, intentional changes can transform family life from merely “getting through” the day to truly enjoying moments together.

That’s why I created Unplugged Family Roots—a framework to help families reduce screen time, cultivate emotional regulation, and build deeper, lasting bonds. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward a home where love, calm, and joy thrive.
