Divorce and other major changes to our family are destablizing.

Life can feel uncertain and overwhelming.

It can be hard to create new routines while mourning old ones.

You begin to doubt if life will ever get back on track.

Imagine what it would feel like to be confident about your future and the potential your life has because of changes you discovered and you deserve.

Together, we’ll work to find an understanding of the influences that shape us. Feel safe, seen, and supported—no matter the structure of your family. You are not alone.

I look forward to helping you and your family and discover what you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.
