I grew up in the State of Michigan and attended university there achieving a BA in Psychology and a MSW . I have experience working in health care, hospice, schools, foster care and adoption, pregnancy services and stress management.

Additionally, I have been a Nationally Certified Bodywork Therapist for the past 23 years. I am particularly interested in Massage for trauma relief in times of grief, specifically for people during the first year of grief. I have been a Better Help Therapist since November, 2022.
