I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a criminal justice concentration and Psychology, with a minor in Family life and Human Sexuality from Central Michigan University. I went on to gain a Master of Social Work degree from Ohio State University. I have provided in-home or outpatient services in the field since 1999. This has allowed me to work in different environments such as juvenile detention centers, in homes, and providing outpatient therapy. I enjoy working as an outpatient therapist, as it gives a place to focus on oneself without distraction.
I live with my husband, two wonderful children, and two dogs, Jasper and Cooper. We enjoyed fishing, hiking, and exploring the beautiful State of Michigan. I love to travel out of state to spend time with family and friends. Much of my downtime is spent watching my kids do the things they love, like football, cheerleading, wrestling, and soccer.
