Life's challenges can be unexpected and difficult to navigate, but they have the power to transform us into stronger and more empathetic individuals. Making it through a challenging time for our family, I found a clear purpose in life, applying what I have learned to connect with and help others.
It was a defining moment in my life, testing me in ways I never was prepared for. One of my sons, during his senior year of high school, faced mental health struggles that changed everything for him. At that time, I didn't fully understand what was happening, and I didn't know how to help. We found ourselves navigating the maze of psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and medications. It was an incredibly challenging journey that altered the very core of who I am as a person.
n life, we often have expectations, hopes and dreams for how things will turn out. When they don't go as planned, it can be incredibly difficult to accept. We grieve over the loss of those expectations, and it's a pain that cuts deep. For me, being a mom is one of my greatest joys, and watching my son struggle was heartbreaking. Thankfully, the more we understood what he was going through, the better our entire family was able to offer him the support he needed.
By getting him the care, support and resources needed, we were able to help him through this challenging period and finally reach a point where he was better. Mental health is an ongoing journey that requires attention and consistency, but today, he is thriving. My son's journey to recovery truly impacted every aspect of my life. Our family openly discusses our experiences, breaking the silence surrounding these struggles. We advocate for seeking help because it is a sign of strength rather than weakness.
Over the years, people have reached out to me, both personally and through my work, wanting help and, at the very least, someone who understands the complex issues. This openness allows me to connect people with resources and offer comfort in uncertain times. My son wants us to share our experiences because he understands the importance of breaking the silence.
Through all of this, I delved more deeply into my passion for helping others and supporting them in their times of need. I realized that there are countless individuals and families facing struggles that are below the surface, unknown to anyone in their lives. And they often suffer in silence. My own family's journey motivated me to reach out and offer a helping hand in any capacity I can.
While my story may not seem directly related to real estate, it played a crucial role in shaping my career since then. It taught me the value of connecting with people, empathizing with their struggles and helping them find solutions. Real estate, after all, is about more than just buying and selling properties; it's about finding homes where people can thrive and feel safe. With compassion, empathy and a passion for service, I want to encourage you to find your own path to happiness and security
In addition to my work in real estate, I also work on the school board for our school district. It's a joy and privilege to put the kids first, ensuring their needs are met and they are receiving the best education and care possible.
This experience has brought our entire family closer, embracing openness and creating a non-judgmental space. With three boys, Caeden, Damen and Dallen, and two girls, Chalyn and Joslyn, we are a busy family. We encourage our kids to find their passion, trying new things and figuring out what they love.From club soccer and cross country to musical theater, voice lessons, film, dance and FFA, our kids each have unique interests and talents that we love to celebrate!
Over the years, my work in real estate has allowed me to help people find homes where they can build their lives, create memories and find their own sense of belonging. My specialization lies in working with families, recognizing that every family is unique and has diverse needs. I will create a personalized experience, tailoring my service to meet your specific goals. This journey is about YOU, and I honor that through every step of the process. With compassion, a commitment to your best interests and nearly 20 years of industry experience, I will help bring your dreams to reality.
One of my greatest sources of pride is my involvement in the community and my commitment to building relationships. From sponsoring community events and activities to donating to various causes, giving back has been a cornerstone of my career. I love helping people within the Vail community, knowing that through my work, I not only establish a trusted reputation, but also gain many neighbors who I now call friends!
Sincerely,
