I sit with people in their hardest moments.

For over fifteen years, I've worked as a school counselor in public and private schools, and as a school liaison for a nonprofit grief center — walking alongside students, families, and whole school communities through some of the hardest moments.

I've also written three bestselling, award-winning books on finding peace and purpose in everyday life: The Gratitude Jar, Give Thanks, and Simple Serenity.

When I'm not working, I'm a mom, wife, and total cat person.

But all of this work has led me to one question — the one I keep coming back to in every counseling session, every book, and every kid who sits across from me:

What does it take to help someone become whole, peaceful, and full of purpose, especially in the hardest moments of life?

That’s the question I hope to answer in everything I create.
