I chose to go into the counseling profession to help others who struggle with addiction or mental health disorders. I am passionate about providing empathetic support while delivering high quality patient care. There was a time that I struggled with my own addiction and mental health issues. When I finally got sober, my goal was to help others who share those struggles. I am now nearing my 12th year of sobriety and look forward to continuing my passion of working to help others. Some of the things I enjoy outside of work include spending time with my family, raising chickens, growing my own vegetables, and developing my spiritual relationship with God.
