I have always felt I had a spiritual gift of counseling and providing sound guidance during life’s challenging times. I am passionate about caring for people and love to use my experience working in healthcare and counseling adults and geriatrics. This passion was birthed through a special bond with my grandparents. My goal throughout education was to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker which I achieved in 2013.
Personally, I am married to my husband, Drew, and we are blessed to raise two precious girls, Ella Grace and Reagan. We love to travel, especially to places where we can dip our toes in the water! I value family, relationships, serving in our church, and breaking bread with others.
I have had the honor to work in an assisted living home, a psychiatric hospital, behavioral health case management, healthcare technology and hospice care. I have been working in hospice care for 11 years with chronically ill and terminal patients and families as they cope with life threatening illnesses and grief. I am skilled at helping others that are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, advance care planning and life transitions. I am an empathetic and a serving leader who finds great joy in walking alongside others on their journey and assuring them that they are not alone. There is great power in processing the emotions and events that occur in your life with a trusted clinician that can help provide perspective and coping skills. I find great fulfillment in being able to provide quality and compassionate counseling, interventions and leadership.
To me, being able to process challenges alongside a client is truly a gift. I believe Brené Brown states it best, “You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness”. It is with honor that I will be able to walk inside your story with you. You are worthy of support and healing.
