​

I think you'll find me really authentic. I am who I am and honestly, I’m warm, steady, and fully present.

​

Credentials? Yes, you can find them here but let's be honest, what's most important to you is if I can help you. I really believe I can.

I have helped many others. 

 

But yup, besides my social work education, I got a second master's degree in healthcare administration so I know that world well.  I also have certifications in grief and end of life.

 

I just really like learning all I can, I am one of those people who is annoyingly passionate about showing up fully and working hard for the people. I was born for this. 

​

If you think we might fit, reach out. I’d love to meet you. Connection is key.
