“Be careful what you say after ‘I Am’. Those two tiny words contain powerful magic.” --Jeff Foster 

I have worn many different hats throughout my lifetime. I’ve been a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, an aunt, a wife, and now a mother. I’ve been a student, a worker, a manual laborer, a professional, and now a psychologist. I’ve worked in therapeutic day programs, residential programs, hospitals, clinics, both public and private schools, crisis services, and even a men’s prison. I now work at home, raising two young daughters. I write a blog and manage an online business that I truly hope reaches and helps a lot of people. I pursue joy, peace, presence, prosperity, abundance, and fulfillment. I think too much, worry often, allow myself to dwell in the past and anticipate the future. I often fall short of who I want to be, both personally and as a parent, and I engage in the practice necessary to evolve. I am human, and I suspect a lot like many of you who have found this site.

I am a pretty relational person so my vision of myself is always in relation to other humans (and animals!). I am a sister, daughter, wife, mom, therapist, rower, talker, teacher, and business owner. I have been married for 19 years to someone who continually makes me laugh. I am a mom of two relatively gracious, generous and kind teenagers who don't resemble me or my husband in our adolescence at all. Back then, I spent a lot of time and energy pushing up against “the powers that be.” It was a different time and a different era in the 60’s and 70’s. Many of those tight limits around my behavior were helpful and functional. Other’s caused fear and resentment. As a mom, I try to strike a balance with my own kids. That balance can be very hard to find some days. I am constantly looking to my kids to garner feedback to see how off or on I am. A sometimes harder job is to be a mom to a Bassett Hound and a black cat who get along every once in a while. I also feel like I am related to our home that was built in 1745.  We have continually and slowly worked on it for 14 years now. The house has been a partial do-it-yourself labor of love and hate, depending on the season and the project.
