Why families come to me

I am both a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor in addition to being an adoptive parent of child with special needs and licensed foster parent. Since I began my nursing career in 2012 and then counseling career in 2021 and motherhood in 2023 I have had a passion for helping those in need, supporting holistic health from a physical, spiritual, and mental/emotional perspective, and working together with whole families. I would love to use my professional and personal skills to support others who are needing an advocate in their corner as they navigate finding and feeling supported in their journey.
