Most of my past work experience has been working with young people. Currently I work with clients of all ages.

I love the variety of clients I see, and that no day is the same as the last. I am grateful for the opportunity to help others on a daily basis. I am glad I can support clients in their lives and also support them to make positive changes in their lives. It is encouraging to see the progress clients have made and continue to make.

One thing that is great about Northern Pines is the people that work here and that within each office we work as a team. We support each other and the clients. I feel we all are working to be our best selves but also are aware of our flaws and weaknesses. I feel Northern Pines is having a positive impact in the communities that we serve.

In my free time I enjoy watching YouTube and other apps on my Roku. My favorite YouTube content is comedians and comediennes. I often spend time playing games on my tablet as well. I enjoy going out and about with my husband. I try to get out at least once a year to go fishing with my husband. I also love cuddling with our two dogs and playing with them as well. My favorite subject was math growing up and I am admittedly a math nerd. I also love to sing. I have been a Christian for most of my life and I am open to including spirituality in session if the client requests to.
