I've dedicated 14 years to education, spending 8 years in the classroom before transitioning to counseling for the past 6 years. As a mother of five and grandmother to three wonderful grandchildren, my family is at the heart of everything I do. When I'm not working or spending time with my loved ones, you'll find me with my nose in a book, planning my next adventure, cheering at a baseball game, or simply enjoying quality time with my family. My experiences in teaching and counseling, coupled with the joys and challenges of raising a large family, have shaped me into a compassionate and understanding individual, both personally and professionally.
