Get My Brain on Your Blended Family.
I help Stepmoms, Dads, and Couples stop spinning out in resentment and start leading their homes with confidence, connection, and calm.
You’re Not Just Looking for a Coach. You’re Looking for Someone Who Gets It.
You’ve probably tried to be the “mature one.” The “flexible one.” The “let’s-just-make-it-work” one.
But eventually, that leads to one of two things: burning out or blowing up.
That’s where I come in.
I’m in the trenches with you and I’ve got tools that are battle-tested. 🛡️
You Want More Than Just Getting Through It - You Want Peace, Joy, & Connection.
Whether you’re a stepmom who’s sick of feeling like a stranger in your own home, a dad caught between your partner and your kids, or a couple quietly wondering how much longer you can keep doing this—
This is your invitation to stop pretending you’re fine and start building something that actually feels good.
What I do isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s personal. It’s trauma-aware. It’s real-life tested.
And it’s based on a framework that blends clinical expertise with lived experience—because I’ve walked this road myself.
I’m not just here to fix your blended family, I’m here to help you make your life better than you ever thought possible.
A few years ago, I was exactly where many of my clients find themselves now:
Overwhelmed. Undervalued. Wondering if love was really enough to hold this blended family together.
I was in a relationship I believed in—with someone I loved deeply. But the day-to-day reality of life in a blended family was nothing like what I’d imagined.
I didn’t feel always feel like a partner. I either felt like a third wheel or the bad guy.
Conversations about boundaries turned into arguments. The kids didn’t understand my role. And I was stuck in a loop of trying harder, doing more, and still feeling like it was never enough.
Sometimes I felt invisible. Other times, like I was carrying the emotional weight for everyone else.
And the worst part? I thought I had to just live with it.
That if I could just “be more patient,” “stay out of it,” or “wait for things to settle,” everything would eventually click.
But it didn’t.
And our relationship didn’t survive.
But That Was the Turning Point
After that, I made a decision:
If I ever found myself in a blended family again, I wouldn’t lose myself trying to make it work.
I’d figure out what healthy actually looked like.
I’d invest in tools that didn’t just get me through the day—but helped me feel confident, grounded, and powerful again.
So I did.
I started applying everything I knew as a licensed therapist.
I hired coaches. Dug into the research. Practiced new skills. And slowly but surely, I built a way of showing up in my family, my relationship, and my life that felt strong and steady—no matter how chaotic the situation around me.
Today, I’m in a committed relationship that’s rooted in respect and real communication. I show up for my stepkids in a way that’s clear, boundaried, and honest. And when drama hits? It doesn’t knock me off my center anymore.
MY STORY
And now I’ll help you do it, too.
Whether you’re a stepparent, a biological parent, or a partner caught in the middle—I help you stop over-functioning, stop second-guessing, and start building a blended family life that actually works for you.
I’ve worked with clients who:
Felt like they had to choose between their kids and their partner
Didn’t know how to set limits with a high-conflict ex
Were exhausted by parenting style differences
Wanted to be closer—but didn’t know how to communicate without a blow-up
Were quietly wondering: “Is this ever going to get easier?”
Here’s what I know is true:
You’re not a bad person and you’re not weak.
Your relationship isn’t doomed.
And you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
“I felt like I wasn’t going to make it, and I knew I needed to do everything I could to make sure I had tried it all before I got to the point of leaving.”
“I feel so much more at peace than I did a year or so ago. Working with you has brought me to a place where I find myself feeling content and happy in situations where I used to feel on-edge and resentful.
Now I feel more confident about speaking up, thanks to the desire dialogue. I feel more content with my stepsons and have even felt love and affection towards them. I’m more at peace in this situation, even when it’s hard.
