I’m a very authentic person. I’ve been described as energetic and easy to talk to. I have wanted to help others for a large part of my life, and that desire has taken me through some interesting roads in life. As an academic, I have studied religion, philosophy, communication, and psychology. I moved from Virginia to Idaho because of the feel of the state. I liked the energy and the idea of connecting with nature. I earned a Master’s in Social Work from BSU a few years ago but have been working in the field since I moved here in 2011. I have worked with children and adults in various scopes and scenarios. I was a community provider (PSR/CBRS), a crisis counselor, a direct care technician, and a developmental specialist. I have practiced in locations ranging from Intermountain to Pathways Crisis Center and Gem State Developmental Services. I am an advocate for human rights and equality. I am passionate about spirituality and the journey we all find ourselves on; growing into ourselves and becoming; the process of waking up. I love working with the LGBT community and Native Americans especially, but it is my job to help you where you are at. I want you to feel heard, valued, and to help you move forward, growing in the ways that you need to at this point in your life. Challenges do not define us. We define ourselves.
