I was always drawn to Human Services and wanted to help others. I worked for different hospitals and agencies throughout the course of my career and eventually I decided to open my own clinic.

Much of my preparation I owe to my formal education. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology, my Master's in Psycho-Therapy, and went on to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

When I first started out, I had a fear of making mistakes or doing the wrong thing. It was also challenging to be a full-time social worker while being pregnant.

I am a very organized person who pays attention to the details and the little things. I also enjoy public speaking very much! Actually, I am holding a conference in August 2017 for medical social workers in Flagstaff, Arizona and I will be be the keynote speaker.

I am very proud of opening my clinic! I love having my own office with my own wonderful staff.

I am currently exploring International Social Work and possibly going back to school for my Ph.D.

I am inspired by God, as I was brought up with Christian values that serve as the strength of my foundation. I have also experienced trauma first hand in my family, and I am inspired to use my experiences to help others in similar situations cope and heal.

I want to be remembered for inspiring and helping others and for my passion to connect with people and the community.
