In October 2007 my sister and brother-in law both died, two months apart. They left behind two young sons. At the time I was a pregnant with our 4th baby. Within 3 weeks we took in our nephews and I had our baby girl, taking us from 3 to 6 kids practically overnight. The irony (or miracle) of it all is that I am a clinical psychologist and expert on women’s emotional health, (especially postpartum depression), and grief/loss. Over the past 3 years I have used the skills I have learned in my career to build this family and help us heal. I am now a tired but usually joyful mother of and feel fortunate to use my skills as a psychologist and mother to share the lessons I’ve learned to teach other women how to find meaning, joy and love in their lives, no matter what comes their way. We can’t always answer the Why’s of life but I seek to understand and teach the HOW’s. Helping other women learn self-love and self-worth is my true passion. And helping mothers be the best we can be despite the challenges of parenting is a close second. We all have a story. It’s how we use that story that makes life meaningful.
