I didn’t begin my work in life transitions from theory.
I began it by living through them.
For more than three decades, I have worked with individuals and families navigating change—helping them find clarity, meaning, and connection during some of life’s most uncertain moments.
But it was my own life experiences that deepened this work in a profound way.
At one of the happiest times of my life—while raising my young daughter—I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. What followed was a ten-year journey through uncertainty, healing, and renewal. That experience changed how I understand identity, resilience, and what it means to keep going when life no longer looks the way you expected.
It also changed how I listen to others.
Years later, I entered another unexpected transition when I had to evacuate during the Pacific Palisades fires. I left behind a community I loved deeply and relocated 3,000 miles across the country, beginning again in an unfamiliar place.
Starting over, again, brought everything I teach into lived reality:
what it means to release, to rebuild, and to rediscover belonging in a new chapter.
Today, I continue to be shaped by these experiences—not as defining endpoints, but as ongoing transitions that inform how I live, work, and connect with others.
Along the way, I have also experienced the profound joy of family, including becoming a grandmother, which has added another layer to my understanding of intergenerational connection, legacy, and love across time.
My work now lives at the intersection of:
life transitions, identity, resilience, and human connection.
Whether I am working with individuals, families, or organizations, I am drawn to the same essential question:
What is ending?
What is shifting?
What is emerging?
Because when we begin to ask that question, we begin to see that even in uncertainty, there is possibility.
And sometimes, there is even a beginning.
