Favorite Vacation Spot My favorites have been road trips with no set destination or plan - just a good music playlist and hole in the wall diners. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, live music, and thrifting.
What Being a Counselor Means to Me I've spent the last four years providing mental health and substance abuse services in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. I am not sure how I decided on this profession, but I've always had a passion to help. I imagine that's the big sister in me. I am really excited to be a part of the Bent Creek team and am grateful for the opportunity to continue to do the work I love in my hometown.
