About Me

My Story

As a first-gen college student who found my way as a young adult by taking chances, making mistakes and getting up and trying again, I understand what it means to forge ahead even when I'm uncertain and anxious. And I'm grateful for the mentoring relationships that played a role in my growth, which is why connection, trust, and support remain central to the way I work today.

My personal experiences outside of work include: blended family dynamics, caregiving roles, grief and loss, and being a part of the sandwich generation - raising kids while supporting parents. These things have shaped how I show up for clients - grounded and compassionate. While I hold those experiences privately, they inform my ability to support others through complexity, change, and the emotional weight that we carry.

Things I Love

(scroll the photo gallery)

The 80's - my childhood, my formative years.
The Heidelberg Project - I'm in awe. My mind just doesn't work this way.
Live Music - it makes me feel and move..and just generally brings me joy.
Mexican Food - most especially Xochimilco's.
Diego Rivera - his murals are so complex and thought provoking.
Home Remodeling - we tear down walls, pull up floors and put it all back together.
My doggies - they're 12 now, but still by babies, sleeping in the bed.
Murals - I think outside art is really cool as it can be shared for FREE with everyone.
Nature - it's so calming and creates space for me to reflect and recharge.
All Things Sports - I love Michigan/Detroit sports. My kids say I yell louder than their dad!
My family and friends - while not pictured, I'm lucky to have so many people that I love and that love me. It carries me through.
