I'm a mom and human services professional with a heart for healing, advocacy, and honest storytelling.
As a mom of a diverse and extraordinary family—some through birth, others through adoption—I’ve walked alongside children who have experienced deep loss, profound challenges, and remarkable growth. These experiences fuel both my professional work and my writing, helping me connect with families, caregivers, and professionals on a real and personal level.
My life's work focuses on childhood trauma, resilience, adoption, foster care, and the complex, beautiful journey of parenting children with multiple special needs.
Whether I'm offering tools for navigating trauma, sharing stories to reduce stigma, or speaking on the front lines of foster care and disability advocacy, my mission is clear: to help others feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Thank you for being here. Whether you're seeking resources, inspiration, or solidarity, I hope you’ll find something that resonates—and reminds you that you’re not alone.
