I have been a service provider/agency owner working in Waupaca County since July of 2018 and recently expanding into other counties. My experience has allowed me to learn resources and strategies to help others, by teaching living skills and empowerment with limited resources.
Some of my strengths include the ability to promote positive thinking, teach how to find options and resources, positive decision-making, budget skills, time-management skills, declutter, and organization. I have also spent time supporting those with anxiety and parenting challenges.

I am a wife and mother to 2 children. My greatest attributes are my nurturing and caring attitude towards others. I understand how important it is to listen and how to work with someone on reaching their goals in ways that work for them instead of telling someone how they should do it. I have experienced supporting those with ADHD, anxiety, autism, bi-polar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and depression. I do my best to be open and honest about the things that I have been through to help reduce the stigma of mental health disorders and help others achieve their goals.

I am a married mother of 3 children. I have had experience with being a single mother and living with depression and anxiety. Currently, I have a blended family so I understand the things that a blended family can go through. Over the last few years, I have worked with children of all ages. I have a heart for them. This helps me have compassion, empathy and patience when a child is going through a storm. I also have experience with being a support for people struggling with addiction. I would be comfortable working with a child of any age range as well as single mothers and parents who are blending a family together and need some additional support.

II am currently a college student pursuing a degree in psychology. I have served as leader of a youth group for troubled girls, ages 10-18 and pride myself on being able to relate to the girls while still being able to correct them when they pursue questionable behavior. As part of my training, I focused on ADD and ADHD, also spending time on Asperger’s, PTSD, eating disorders, hoarding, depression and anxiety. I work with teenagers and young adults. Most people would consider me to be bubbly, easy going, kind, and intelligent. I love to help clients with issues of social interactions, communication, organization, and general life skills.

My passion to help children brought me to foster parenting through Lutheran Social Services.

I have extensive training and experience with working with children diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. I know how hard it can be for them to communicate so I'm very mindful of tones and body language while working with them. I have a degree in marketing but really find that working with children in need gives me a sense of purpose.
