My experiences have led me to a passion for helping others. I was able to heal through difficult personal circumstances by working to turn them into tools of self-empowerment. Through this journey, I’ve discovered purpose. My goal is to
provide a safe, respectful and healing environment to support personal growth. My aim is to not just do something for you but rather be something for you while assisting in your own healing process.

I completed school with a M.A. in Counseling with Ottawa University. I have worked in community behavioral health, mainly helping children and adolescents maneuver difficult life challenges. I have had the honor and privilege of seeing many of my clients and their caregivers overcome traumatic situations and build safe and happy environments.

When I’m not working, I am busy with my husband and our five teenagers. Our family has experienced many things including blending families, divorce, adoption, ADHD, and PTSD, just to name a few. Some of my favorite things are the beach, hiking, paddle boarding, going to the movies, and spending time with my family.
