Gender Female

Introduction **Posts on this blog are for education only. Posts are NOT for diagnostic or counseling purposes. If you have mental health concerns, please consult your counselor or go to your local ER. I graduated from Capella in 2013 with a MS in Mental Health Counseling. I interned at the local CSB and Free Clinic. I've worked as a MHSS clinician and supervisor. I currently work in Galax, VA as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have chronic conditions and illnesses which I manage through nutrition and wellness practices. I am married. We have a blended family and 4 rescue dogs. Our furbabies are a big part of our lives. We do a lot of outdoor activities. I love to take photographs of wildflowers. I am a liberal in most political aspects. I have varied views regarding religion. Pretty much – this is a blog where whatever comes to mind will find its way onto the screen. Hopefully, there will be bits and pieces you enjoy or can use. And, when something neither appeals to you nor applies to you, you are most welcome to skip that post or comment on your own point of view. I hope you are looking forward to this as much as I am.
Interests Family relationships and being a mom, I am overweight. Weight control and weight loss are topics I return to. Often, these are tied to the Prochaska model “Stages of Change”. Between allergies/intolerance, weight, and a lifetime love of food – I create a lot of recipes.
