Personal 
I am originally from the Seattle area and moved to Utah with my family in 2010. My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and we have 2 healthy and unique young men. We enjoy the outdoors here in Utah year round by boating, skiing, hiking, checking out the sites around the area, and gardening. Prior to counseling I taught high school for 15 years at the secondary level, and served as a director of Children’s Ministries in Seattle.
