About Me

At the heart of it all, my passion has always been helping others build their own resilience, discover their unique strenghts, and crease lives that feel meaningful and sustainable.  

Now I'm taking everything that I've learned over the years (my formal education, the direct client experiences, and the lessons that can only be learned by sitting face-to-face with real people in real life situations) and bringing it here to share with you, my fellow clinicians.  

My experiences have given me a unique perspective on the challenges that mental health professionals face, not only caring for their clients, but in caring for themselves as well.  Over the years, I've seen and experienced firsthand how compassion fatigue, burnout, and the weight of caring for clients can take a toll on those dedicated to helping others.  

That is why I have shifted my focus to education.  My mission is to share my knowledge, experiences, strategies, and tools that I have gained over the years with all of you.  And I believe that continuing education should be more than just a requirement that needs to be checked off every couple of years.  I want education to be engaging, practical, and genuinely usefull in supporting the work that we do every day.  

So, this space is being designed to be a community for learning and growth.  Here, you'll find continuing education courses, resources, and helpful tools you can use immediately both in your practice and for your own life.  

I am so glad that you are here, and I look forward to learning and growing alongside you!
