I have juggled parenting and full time work and school, dealt with breastfeeding difficulties and postpartum depression, and supported an adolescent daughter who developed Long Covid. I have used my background in education as a resource when dealing with parenting challenges, always keeping the ultimate goal of ushering my daughter towards healthy independence as a guide in any situation. I can offer guidance on staying patient and loving, focusing on your children’s personal growth, and working through parenting exhaustion and frustration. In relationships beyond parenting, I have used therapy and mindfulness practices as I worked through the pain of a partner’s infidelity, experienced financial and extended-family pressures, learned and went through divorce. Across these experiences, I invested in creating healthy relationships via strong communication practices and reflecting on my own needs and boundaries. I can support you as you reflect on your own needs in these areas and offer suggestions for approaching others from a space of empathy and curiosity, even when times are tough.
