After earning my bachelor’s degree in nursing I earned a graduate degree in science of nursing; public health nursing with a clinical track in family practice. I discovered my calling by supporting those facing mental illness and homelessness while working in an emergency department. This calling has guided my career ever since, shaping my focus on creating healing spaces for those who need it most. Whether it’s through hospital care, outpatient programs, or individual support, I’ve seen how mental health care can transform lives—and that transformation drives me every day.

On a personal note, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 35 wonderful years. Together, we’ve raised three amazing children, who have blessed us with seven grandchildren that light up our lives. When I’m not working, you’ll find me surrounded by our 2 cats, music, lost in a good book, or nurturing my love for plants and flowers.
Reasons Health is more than just a clinic—it’s a promise to our community that no one has to walk their mental health journey alone. Let’s work together to create a brighter, healthier future for all. We welcome you!
