Welcome and thank you for reading my first book, Secret Keeper: the joys and struggles of being a therapist! My family and husband are the cornerstones of my life. Professionally, I hold a master’s degree of Education in Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation Counseling from Ohio University. I am licensed in the state of Ohio as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and utilizing DBT. My professional experiences also include working with individuals, groups and families. Currently, I work as the Assistant Director of Career Services at Ohio Northern University. I have worked previously in community mental health agencies working with adults, children, and adolescents and as a certified rehabilitation counselor. Personally, my husband and I love to travel. We have two cats and we enjoy any time we can spend outdoors.
