Welcome!
I am so excited to begin the 2025-2026 school year!

I've included below information on how to contact me and what I can help you with at PLD.

A Mental Health Specialist sounds very fancy and an intimidating title, but it is not. Here are some of the things we can help you with:
We can talk about anything bothering you, like problems at home, issues with friends, bullies, and understanding your feelings.
Social issues among or between your friends, like peer pressure, conflict resolution, and expressing your individuality.
How to handle failures and disappointments
How to communicate with adults
Prioritizing needs versus wants.
I am a mom of two kiddos and a wife.
I was the first person in my family to graduate from:
High School - Woodford County High School.
College - Eastern Kentucky University. I majored in Criminal Justice and Spanish.
And Graduate School - Campbellsville University, Social Work
I am a daughter of immigrants, like many of you :)
I love playing soccer and going for runs.
