I became a stepmom at 24 years old.
I was a single, independent, some would say strong willed female with no children of my own.
I had just moved from my small California town to a big city in Utah on a whim and unexpectedly met and fell head over heels in love with a man who happened to have four kids — all of this happening in less than a year.
It was a lot to process, believe me!
​
Was this the plan I had always had for my life?
Hard no.
My plan had been to remain single, finish college, develop a successful career, travel the world, ride my horses on the weekends, and live childless till my early thirties, maybe even mid-thirties if I'm being honest!
I can’t help but just laugh looking back at those “plans” now.
​
Boy, did my life take a detour.
Do I regret that detour? Absolutely not!
​
Have I always felt that way? No.
​
Have there been times when I felt like it was all too much to handle? Yes!
​
Has that detour brought me directly to my knees more times than I can count?
​
Yes girl — Yes it has.
HERE'S THE DEAL
I have had to struggle and claw my way through these last 13 years, some days just barely holding on.
I have seen multiple therapists, healers, read countless books, leaned on multiple friends for support along the way. At the time completely desperate for validation and support.
​
But listen, it does not have to be this way for you!
​
What has taken me thirteen years to collect for myself through many different resources is exactly what I hope to provide for you here in our sessions.
You're not alone in this.
