Our Military Journey

One thread that’s woven deeply into our story is our life as a military family. Both my husband and I served in the military—me for 9 years and him for a remarkable 26 years before he retired from the Army. While his career was successful, it came with long hours and extended periods apart, which meant much of my parenting was done solo. We've faced numerous struggles, including witnessing injuries and fatalities within the military community and dealing with the strain on our own marriage.

Facing Challenges and Finding Strength

Our journey has been marked by a constant need for adjustment. We've navigated everything from setting difficult boundaries with extended family to coping with the unique challenges of military life and adjusting to retirement after a long career. These experiences have forged a path of resilience and growth for us.

The chaos of 2020 brought a profound realization. I saw firsthand the struggles people faced and the urgent need for mental health services, particularly within the military and first responder communities. The pandemic highlighted the importance of empathy and compassion and underscored how critical it is to trust that people will follow through on their commitments.

Moving Forward Together

Through all the stress and challenges, both individually and as a couple, we’ve worked hard with therapists and on our own to emerge stronger and more resilient. Our experiences have equipped us to face whatever comes next with renewed strength.

My goal now is to support you on your journey to move forward with perseverance and persistence. I believe in the power of building resilience and taking control of your story’s outcome. Together, we can navigate your challenges and work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I’m excited to see what we can achieve together!
