I’m a joyful and optimistic mom of two grown kids, a devoted wife of 32 years, and someone who’s weathered a fair share of storms with heart and humor. From helping my son navigate anxiety and explore alternative treatments like medical marijuana, to guiding a dear friend through the chaos of parenting a screen-obsessed tween, I’ve learned that connection, creativity, and compassion go a long way. Losing my father recently was deeply painful, but I found healing in honoring his memory with my family in meaningful (and fun!) ways. As a longtime HR professional and peer supporter, I’m here to listen without judgment and help you feel just a little less alone in whatever you’re facing. Whether it’s marriage ups and downs, parenting curveballs, or grief that hits in waves, I’ve been there—and I’m still standing (usually with a cup of coffee in hand). Let’s figure it out together.
