I sit with kids on their hardest days.

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. As a certified Grief Specialist through the American School Counselor Association, I walk alongside students, families, and whole school communities through some of the hardest moments they'll ever face.

I've also written three bestselling 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.

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 my books.
