Backup Mom was created to provide an additional layer of support, reassurance, and connection when students need it most. My goal is to have a thoughtful, non judgmental and productive discussion on topics that are important to you. I am a trusted resource nearby who genuinely cares and has your back.

The session is a safe place for you to talk about whatever is on your mind. No topic is too big or too small. On and off campus resources and referrals are also provided. The college journey can be an exciting time, but also challenging. Whether we meet for a cup of coffee, take a walk or talk over Zoom, it is a place for you to feel valued and seen. The goal is for you to feel heard and to hopefully walk away with more clarity, compassion, resiliency and confidence in yourself. Backup mom welcomes and supports all individuals, regardless of age, background, identity, sexual orientation or circumstances. Everyone deserves to feel valued, supported and have a sense of belonging.
