"Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
- James Baldwin
After graduating from Michigan State University, I worked with children and families involved in the child welfare system in Detroit, MI. My experiences compelled me to further my education so that I could play a more therapeutic role, and I have since completed my Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Western Michigan University. A love of the outdoors brought my husband, along with our dog and 2 cats to Manistee County. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, trips to the beach and photography. Nature has played a healing role in my life and inspires me each day. |
