She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years in practice and the author of the memoir, This Time with Feeling (May 2026).

• Why so many people feel stuck, even when they’ve done everything “right”
• How to tell the difference between a phase of discomfort and a life that truly needs to change
