More about me
I have 3 children; one of my children has disabilities, which has given me hands-on experience in the field. I was a hospice volunteer in Green County and where I found my passion for grief counseling which led me into counseling. I have always been in the helping field in some shape or form and have worked with homeless population as well as advocate for sexual assault survivors. I have advocated in IEPs in the past and I am passionate about mental health and disability rights
