Additional Information
I have a passion for working with people who need help in areas of mental health, addiction, psychological illnesses, and crisis interventions. I strive to make a difference in people's lives through kindness, compassion, understanding and renewing hope in people who are lost without a clear purpose. I believe everyone has a chance in life if they have someone to help get them there. Everyone deserves someone to care. I took time away from work to get married and be a stay at home mom while going to school full time for my passion of helping people.
