I write from the real, lived experience of someone who has done — and continues to do — the work to understand and grow as a person, parent, and counselor. As a Licensed Master Social Worker in private practice, I work with children, teens, and young adults and specialize in supporting neurodiverse individuals, parents, and anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed.
My path to this work began with my own counseling for anxiety and self-esteem as a teen, and as a young adult while I worked to be more independent as a PA in healthcare. In my thirties, my counseling led to an ADHD diagnosis, bringing clarity and a better understanding of myself. I am grateful that it also helped me navigate the ups and downs of parenting two incredible kids — including one highly gifted and mildly autistic child. Through this journey of self-reflection, I’ve come to see that understanding yourself, finding a community that gets you, and finding your voice are essential for building the life you want.
Writing has been both cathartic and comforting for me — a way to process fear, uncertainty, and times of feeling stuck, especially as a parent. It’s also one of the ways I hope to “pay it forward” by offering encouragement, insight, and connection to others who need to know that someone truly gets it.
At heart, I’m a creative and a little silly — with a fierce love for all who have ever felt different or unseen, full of ideas and still learning how to best share their stories. I carry a passion for the outdoors and for finding joy in simple, authentic connections. I hope my writing connects with you.
