About Me

After working in the commercial insurance industry for 15 years, I made the decision to go back to school and pursue my passion of being a mental health therapist. In 2014, after completing my bachelor’s degree, I began working in the mental health field. I started by providing BHIS services to individuals and families in their home. This provided great hands-on experiences in working with each client on a deeper level. While providing BHIS services, I was also working on my master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and started my basic EMDR training. That is when I found myself very interested in learning all that I could about complex trauma and co-occurring disorders. I married my husband in 2000, and I am proud to still be married today. Together we have 3 children. Two of our children are now adults and we have a much younger child that we adopted. When I am not working you can find me at home, spending time with my family and friends or sitting on my back porch. Our family loves camping, boating, and traveling. My family has been a huge support for me throughout my journey from insurance to therapist. I am eternally grateful for their support.
