I was born and raised in Richland County, and have lived here all of my life. My husband, Jeff, and I married in 1985. We have two adult, married sons, and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. 

I earned a Bachelors of Science - Psychology from the University of WI - Platteville in 1982. I then earned a Master of Science in Education - Counselor Education from UW-P in 2001.

I have practiced psychotherapy for more than 21 years. Until March 31, 2017, I worked at Clinical Services, with Richland County Health & Human Services. It had always been our plan to open a private practice, which I did in April 2017.
