About My Clients

Life is just hard sometimes. The pressure builds, and starts showing up in other areas of our lives. Stress and feelings of anxiety and depression start to impact our relationships and interactions with others around us. Changes in our lives tip the balance, and we often struggle while caring for so many and doing so much. It takes so much courage to reach out and ask for help, and that same tenacity that has gotten you through so much already will help you now.

My Background and Approach

My education background is a Bachelor of Science in Human Development, a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling, and a Doctorate of Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have twenty years experience helping people navigate life, its hardships, and its challenges. Life is just hard sometimes, and it helps to have someone listen. I am married with six children, all with different special needs, and all adopted from foster care. My husband and I shared the story of our family in the book "Keeping Kyrie", opening up about our own trials through dating, marriage, cancer, miscarriage, and grief. I will be glad to listen as you share your story with me.

Besides numerous syndicated articles online about mental health issues, she is the author of the memoir "Keeping Kyrie" about the gathering of her family, as well as several related children's books about disabilities.
