About
As a divorced and remarried middle-aged African American female, I bring a wide range of experiences to the table. I love working in community mental health; I was a foster parent for 25 years. I have an understanding and appreciation for working with blended families. I have experience working with the LGBTQ community. I have a lot of experience working with individuals with trauma, working with individuals who are victims of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts. I believe we all need patience, understanding, empathy, and grace. I am dually licensed in the state of Ohio for mental health and chemical dependency. I love to laugh, watch movies, travel, and spend time with my family.

Why Healthcare
I'm passionate about mental health because I don't feel enough resources have been directed in this field. The field is stigmatized. And let's face it if you were sick, you would go to the doctor. Therapy is just having a conversation and a checkup for the heart and soul. I believe in empowerment and advocacy. Sometimes, people need help finding their voices.
