Stepfamily Expert, Therapist & Coach
Approach & Philosophy
Being part of a stepfamily is complex and challenging, whether you’re dating, living together, or married. If you’re a childless or childfree woman, your challenges are even greater. If you’ve ever thought, “I never knew it would be this hard,” you’re not alone. Integrating a new family is a complicated journey for everyone involved, and stepfamilies often emerge from situations of loss, making the process of becoming a cohesive unit more difficult than it sounds.​​
