I'm a mom of two, wife, mental health therapist, writer, public speaker, and children's book author.

Like every mama, I am constantly juggling all the things. By day, I stay-at-home parent my pretty spectacular and equally exhausting young kids while attempting to work on my social-emotional children’s book series and to write for my blog Real Life Mama and other highly regarded publications. And by night (well, evening, really) via telehealth, I am a practicing licensed mental health therapist. And of course I try to make time for my marriage, and for myself, but it’s not always easy.

Even with my background in mental health, I am often overcome by how challenging motherhood and life can be. I am a work in progress, and I feel the pains that you do, which is why I care so deeply about supporting others through all the ups and downs they experience. We all can use a hand every now and again.

When I'm not working, I can be found singing loudly, crafting inconsistently, cooking and baking, exercising, going to the beach (my happy place), and having wild dance parties with my family in the living room.
