Hello Everyone! I’m so excited to join the BHIS team and l am looking forward to broadening my skills and knowledge in Behavioral Health. I am a 2024 graduate of Western Illinois University where I gained my knowledge and practiced my studies to receive a Masters of Science in Education for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in various children and family facilities, such as: the Department of Children and Family Services and the Center for Youth and Family Solutions, both in Illinois. While attending my internship program, I worked with adolescent boys, ages 12-18 at Arrowhead Youth and Family Services in Coal Valley, IL. During that year and a half at Arrowhead, I gained experience and implemented interventions in Behavioral Health, Anger Management, Crisis and Trauma, and Conflict Resolution. This is, no doubt, where I learned that the youth and adolescents have the power to pull at my heartstrings. And where I found my strong passion and love for helping others learn how to use skills and interventions to cope with life’s everyday issues.

As a new BHIS Provider, I look forward to working with the team at Heart and Solutions, LLC. I’m so excited to implement my experience and skills into this program, as well as, learn and gain new skills and experience along the way. In my spare time, I am “momager” to both my daughters, the oldest models and the youngest is pursuing her love in music. When I’m not doing that, I love spending time with my son and my one year old grandson (who keeps me on my toes), hanging out and laughing with other family and friends, going to church, traveling and challenging myself to come up with new ways to implement self care.
