I chose this work because I believe recovery is possible for everyone. People are so much more than their addiction, and I wanted to help them rediscover their strengths and build a life they can be proud of. What keeps me here is seeing the small victories that grow into lasting change.
I do my best work in residential treatment because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with clients and support them through one of the most vulnerable times in their lives. I enjoy helping people overcome challenges one step at a time and watching their confidence grow as they move forward in recovery.
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal and build a life they’re proud of. My hope is that when you meet with me, you’ll feel heard, respected, and know that you have someone in your corner who genuinely believes in your ability to recover.
"Outside of Arbor Place, I enjoy the simple things in life. I'm a huge Minnesota Vikings fan, so you'll find me watching every Sunday during football season. I love spending time outdoors, where I recharge and find peace, and my favorite moments and memories are spent with my kids, grandkids, and friends. And then there's Bentley—my 8-year-old pit bull and my favorite creature on the planet. My kids believe he is my favorite! If you ask me about him, be prepared to hear a few stories! He has a way of making every day better."
