PROVIDER BIO:
I have been working in the profession since 2015. I began my career working in a medication assisted treatment center. I then wished for a change of pace and worked in a residential and intensive outpatient facility with Menominee Nation. In 2018, I then transitioned to Oneida Behavioral Health.

I grew up in a rural town in lower Michigan, and after several moves throughout different states, I have settled in Black Creek, Wisconsin. I have been married for 14 years and have three children. I have 2 dogs; a German Shepard (Marvel) and a Shiatzu Maltese (Elsa). I enjoy kayaking, traveling, camping, running, reading, journaling, attending my children’s sporting events and volunteering.

One thing I hope everyone will take with them is something that took years of my journey to learn and understand, “I am a priority.” To be a priority is to believe that I am worth recovery and my life is worth fighting for. To be a priority is to understand I am valuable, and it is okay to care for myself.
