My career began working as a counselor with Grand Traverse County Health Department and Grand Traverse Band Behavioral Health. Then I went on to earn my Master of Social Work at Boston University and completed my clinical placement with Traverse Bay Children's Advocacy Center. I fulfilled my clinical hours at Pine Rest Traverse City Clinic. My specialtied include working with individuals and couples utilizing mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy interventions.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my animals at home on the farm, skiing, swimming and all the things Northern Michigan has to enjoy!
