Tell me about your vision. My vision is for children to have healed parents. My mission
is to help a million families heal in 2024. And to me, what that means is healing as freedom. I
want people blissfully happy, experiencing love on the deepest levels. And again, I want children
to have healed parents versus parents that are just passing on without meaning to generational
trauma patterns and cycles. And I really know after 20 years of experience in private practice,
we can do family our way the way we imagined we always could and love. And we all deserve that.
That's a very interesting vision, the way you framed it. I want
to have children have healed parents. That is a great way to put it. Why did you choose that?
I'm an incest survivor, a domestic violence survivor in my childhood, and even with a 4.0 GPA
and my counseling master's degree, I didn't break the cycle. I found myself in my first marriage
with a baby in a domestic violence situation all over again, even though I knew better. And so for
me, this idea of being a healed parent means the cycle officially ended. I don't just manage and
cope and understand. I have obliterated the trauma cycle and I don't live it and it doesn't impact
me anymore. That is the definition of being a healed adult. The past is clear. It's not impacting
you. You're not trying to avoid it. You're not trying to manage and cope. It's over. And that's
what I want. And in my couple's work for now at least 13 years of prioritizing couple's work,
the magic moment where the two people meet each other for the first time is my favorite part of
what I do. The inner child who's wounded isn't who you are and it isn't who you're married to.
And most couples haven't met the healed version of themselves or their spouse. And it is so beautiful
to get to witness that in my private practice work with couples. And that is what kids deserve,
that version of their parents running the show and getting that modeled to them.
I don't know a more beautiful gift we can give our kids.
