About Me

For much of my life, I was the one who kept going. I built a healthcare career, earned my master's degree, raised a family, and became very good at handling whatever life demanded.

But behind that determination was a pattern I hadn't recognized: push harder, carry more, crash, recover, repeat.  

When burnout disrupted the life I'd worked so hard to build, I began asking different questions. Not just about stress, but about where those patterns began.

Studying stress physiology, early experiences, and relationships helped me understand my own story differently.  

Not to blame the past, but to understand how it shaped the present—and what we could do differently for the next generation.  

That journey became the foundation for Beyond the Mind's Edge and Burnt, Not Broken.  

Today, I bring together professional knowledge, personal experience, and practical education to support individuals, families, and the professionals who serve them.

What We Do

I offer individual coaching, educational programs, and professional workshops for women, parents, caregivers, and organizations supporting children and families.

My approach brings research on stress, development, and behavior into everyday life through practical tools and meaningful understanding.
