My Story
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist turned travel advisor who believes the best trips are built around connection. From intentional one-on-one getaways to thoughtfully planned family travel, designing meaningful experiences brings me genuine joy. I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to planning—so travel feels effortless from start to finish. I always said I’d become a travel advisor in my empty-nester era... so why wait?
Travel Style
My niche is creating thoughtful and unique itineraries that flow seamlessly. Think: a historic, cozy beachfront bungalow oozing with character and charm-paired with modern comforts. Or a quaint brownstone guesthouse, tucked along cobblestone streets, steps from a vibrant city rich in history, timeless architecture, and gourmet dining. Candlelit dinner at a hidden, hole-in-the-wall Italian trattoria. If this resonates with you, we’d make a great fit.

A Couple's Guide to South Beach, Miami
Starting our days with bike rides along the palm-lined boardwalk, exploring streets adorned with colorful buildings and lush greenery, and hearing a blend of languages around every corner—South Beach feels worlds away, even though it's a quick, direct flight from home. It is both nostalgic and vibrant. Despite the bustling atmosphere, it somehow invited us to slow down and settle into a gentle rhythm that felt just right.

A San Diego Winter Escape: Family Guide
A few years ago, my husband and I traveled alone to San Diego. From cliffside coastlines to palm-lined streets, we were in a constant state of awe. We kept saying, "I wish they could see this." Our quintessential California date nights were surrounded by families with children who were thriving, not just surviving dinner. That's how our couple's getaway became a blueprint for a family adventure.
