As a mom of four, I’ve spent years putting my family’s health first—but now I’m taking that commitment a step further. Join me on a new journey: weekly family mental health nights that blend learning with laughter. It’s all about growing stronger together—one Tuesday at a time.

Marriage is often depicted as a never-ending fairytale, but the truth is that it’s much more complex. Love isn’t always consistent, and there are times when it feels like everything but love exists between you and your spouse. The key to navigating these moments is remembering that commitment isn’t about avoiding the hard parts—it's about moving through them together, side by side. There will be days when the bond feels stretched thin, when the connection seems lost, but as you look back over the years, you’ll see that it was these very challenges that strengthened you both.

I’ve been there. 30+ years of marriage, children, loss, and illness—it’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. Hang in there. The storm will pass, and on the other side, there’s peace. Always remember: you are human, and that’s enough.

Parenting teens can feel like landing in a foreign country without a guidebook—disorienting, thrilling, and full of unexpected lessons. As children grow into young adults, we find ourselves learning a new language of connection, trust, and adaptation, often without a clear map to follow.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My journey has been one of resilience and transformation—overcoming childhood trauma, surviving late-stage cancer, and raising a son with Asperger's. Through these experiences, I've learned the power of healing, growth, and the importance of community. In 2026, I'll complete my Masters in Integrative Therapy, which will deepen my ability to support women and children on their own healing paths. This space is here to offer you insights, resources, and a sense of empowerment as we explore intentional living and growth together. I'm honored to walk alongside you.
