What is something most people don't know about you? Most people don't know I am adopted, am a mother to 2 beautiful girls (1 step/1 biological), and love to read!
Why did you become a counselor? I had a torn family growing up and had to adjust to a blended family as well. It was always hard for me, being the communicator through these ended relationships and adjusting. I knew I wanted to help people in their relationships but also wanted to help people who cannot reconcile with communicating and keeping the children as a priority.
What do you do when you are not counseling? I love to crochet baby blankets and spend time with family and friends. I have read all of Kendra Elliot's books (crime/mystery).
What are your favorite TV shows? 911, Fire Country, and Next Level Chef
Favorite holiday? Definitely Christmas, this is the time I see extended family the most and eat the most amazing food!
Favorite season? Fall, the weather is nice and cool but not too cold and the scenery makes me smile. I also love Halloween and my birthday is around there too!
Favorite quote? (Cinderella story) "Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game."
