Work With Me

You take care of everyone. Let's make room for you.

Coaching for people who take care of others, at home, at work, or both. Parents, teachers, nurses, social workers. For when you've given everyone your best and kept nothing for yourself.

Is this you?

  • You take care of people all day, at work, at home, or both.
  • You've put your own needs last for so long you're not sure what they are anymore.
  • You're grateful and exhausted, often in the same hour.
  • You want to feel steadier without pretending everything is fine.
  • You care for a child, parent, or partner who needs a lot from you.
  • You're grieving the life you pictured while showing up for the one you have.

If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

How we'll work together

We start with what's real for you right now. Then we use small, doable practices, most of them five minutes or less, so taking care of yourself doesn't become one more thing on your list.

Coaching

1:1 Coaching

Just you and me, at a pace that fits your life. We look at what you're carrying, what you need, and the small changes that make room for you. You leave each session with one thing to try before the next.

Grief Support

For parents grieving the family they imagined while showing up for the one they have. Room to say what's hard, without anyone rushing you toward the bright side.

What struck me most is how you honor opposing truths without trying to make them behave. Joy doesn't cancel grief. Relief doesn't erase loss. Love doesn't make things simple. That honesty creates so much safety.

Speaking & Workshops

Talks for the people who hold everyone else up.

I speak to families and caregivers, the organizations that employ and support them, and the leaders making hard calls. Every talk draws on twenty years in special education and on my own family. It's honest and practical, and it never loses sight of the family at the center.

Seven Ways to Come Back to Yourself

For families and caregivers

Simple self-care that fits real life, built on the seven practices from my journal.

Caring for the Caregivers

For schools, hospitals, agencies, and nonprofits

What your people need to keep showing up, and what quietly wears them down.

Leading When the Map Runs Out

For leaders

Making hard calls without certainty, and staying human while you do it.

Maria and Carter's story, from the Tennyson Center for Children

Maria has an extremely powerful story to tell. It shows that loving, stable relationships can help children heal from trauma. It's also an important reminder that no child fits neatly into a box, and the best support systems come from a place of understanding complexity.
Lauren Kersey, Director of Marketing, Tennyson Center

Each talk can be a keynote or a hands-on workshop, shaped to your group.
