Expert Overview

Mental health diagnoses in families, whether in the families we grew up in or in the families we are trying to keep happy as moms now affect our identity in a profound way. There's no way around this. Our world view is shaped by seeing loved ones suffer emotionally. They are simply trying to get out of intense pain, and often, so are we. My 1:1 coaching is for moms or caretakers of family members who have serious mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, or suicidal ideation. I have loved and presently love family members with all of these diagnoses and have figured out how to live my life alongside it all - not buried under. I can help you reframe your story about you as it relates to your role in all of this. My coaching strength is validating your experience while also helping you see what is in your control. You will get to take your power back in the midst of the momming or caretaking that seems neverending. I'm practical and down to earth and warm. You will feel a huge load lifted after coaching with me. I can promise you that. XO
