ABOUT
OUR Story
For over 20 years, I have worked with children and families facing some of the darkest and most challenging moments of their lives. What I have learned is that there is "no one size fits all" to coping - and personalizing care to meet individual needs is paramount.
I am the Mother of three children, ages 13, 16 and 19. Our middle daughter, was diagnosed 10 years ago, with a rare auto-inflammatory condition called CRMO. It turned our lives upside down. My professional and personal worlds collided. All I could do was watch, as each of us was blindsided in ways we were not prepared for. Over the years, I have seen how the trauma has taken different shapes in all of us - it comes at different times, in different ways - no less difficult, but maybe a little more manageable.
It continues to be a learning process - a process of doing and undoing. Sitting in and with the uncomfortable - yet, still RISING.
RISING looks different to everyone - maybe it is a dismantling of old coping styles, maybe it is the construction of personal WELL-BEING, maybe it is giving ourselves grace that BEING human can be incredibly hard.
I have made it my mission to do ALL that I can to:
ELEVATE, ENCOURAGE, EDUCATE & EMPOWER each person with whom I work.
What does RISING look like to you? How can you achieve your WELL-BEING?
