What began as a passion to support families has grown into a mission to walk alongside those navigating adoption and foster care through both joy and unexpected challenges. Through Black River Nurse Consulting, I support families facing trauma, attachment struggles, and the unseen hurdles of adoption with faith-informed, compassionate, and practical care rooted in Scripture. Drawing from biblically grounded principles and select materials recommended by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), I seek to encourage heart-level growth while equipping parents with wise, steady, and trauma-aware support.

Through personalized support, Scripture-centered encouragement, and trauma-aware, evidence-informed strategies, I help families build calm, confident, and connected homes — walking alongside them with steady, faith-filled support every step of the way.
