During her adolescence, Luise became depressed and isolated because her birth father gave her up for adoption and she had a painful relationship with her stepfather. She lost self-confidence and went into survival mode for a decade. This is why she wrote The Fatherless Daughter Project. “So many young women find themselves in a similar cycle because they were not taught how to be loved, supported and protected by safe, loving fathers. I did not realize my own truth for years because I pretended to be someone I was not in order to survive.”

Luise describes her pathway to her own life purpose as “a series of lightbulb moments.” Although she felt unsure of her purpose as a young woman, she loved teaching and writing as a child – and had dreams of doing something in that domain. She would hold “classes” for her brother and neighbors and felt that she was a natural healer. But she just did not realize she could turn these passions into a career until later in life.

After getting divorced at a young age, Luise found guidance in going to therapy and volunteering at The Atlanta Ronald McDonald House. “The more I was there, the more meaning I found in it,” Luise said. “I connected with the families, empathized with their pain, and experienced human connection in a new way. Something in me clicked. I realized that I am meant to help people with their pain.”

Luise went back to school at age 30 to earn her MA in Counseling. Although intimidated, she quickly discovered a new side to herself – brighter, intuitive, and more capable than she had believed. “My passion had not yet come to the surface because I until then, I did not believe that I was worthy of shining brightly,” she said. So, she enrolled in a rigorous, research-based Ph.D. program in Counseling Education & Practice. Over time, Luise became a doctor and also the mother of three children.

Dr. Luise offers advice to women raising daughters who don't have fathers involved in their lives.
