About

In 2004, I was working as a grant manager for a foster home for pregnant teens when I noticed they needed more than an empathetic ear and an open mind, so I started a Master's program to become a counselor. I have been a counselor for 16 years and continue to work with those that need help coping with the harder times they have experienced.
