Personal Life
I have been counseling for approximately 14 years. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselorfor 7 years. For the past 3 years, I have been working at the Hampton Newport News Community Services Board working with Child and Adolescents. Since June 2014 been working at Betty Eastern and Associates. I feel as thought I am so fortunate to have a career that I so enjoy. I am honored to have an opportunity to work with individuals and families during times when life is challenging and does not go as planned.
Community
I enjoy singing, ZUMBA and aqua zumba. I also enjoy reading and going to the beach. I would have to say....time with my family makes my heart smile.
