Working with me:
I love to see others smile! I believe in meeting people where they are at! We all have our own perspective of our outlook on life not making it so monotonous. Our diversity and differences are what makes the world go round and round.
I have lost my way many times along the way. We all sometimes get lost or distracted and I am here to connect with you to support you through your own journey. I provide a supportive, caring, and non-judgemental environment in which we work together to maximize your emotional well-being. I look forward to learning more about you and your strengths.
I create a welcoming space for all voices to be heard. I have been in this field for almost 30 years. I have a social work background as well as a Child and youth background. I am here to help you to fulfill your hopes and dreams as you journey through life's different chapters! Life has its best and difficult moments, however, keep the faith!"Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark” -Rabindranath Tagore
Outside of the Office:
I love spending time with family and friends I have a passion for water and my favorite moment is being in a swimming pool! I love the company of humorous individuals over a delicious meal. I have a generational sweet tooth and I laugh every time that I promise myself that I will ease up on the sweets knowing that the chances are slim!!!
