Clinical Supervisor

I am very excited to join the Encourage team as Clinical Supervisor. I will provide therapy services to our foster youth and support our families as well. I look forward to meeting kiddos where they are at, assisting them in the healing process, and showing them their worth in Christ. Before this position, I was a residential therapist at Christian Children’s Home of Ohio (CCHO). When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two little boys we adopted last year. I love reading, watching Netflix, and running around with our two puppies.
