About Me
My husband Jason and I have four children. I was blessed to stay home with them for 12 years until I returned to teaching. We love cheering them on at their sporting events, playing games, and watching movies together. We enjoy exploring the outdoors, especially when it involves vacationing in the Northwoods of Minnesota and Wisconsin or to the Rocky Mountains.

Philosophy
Children learn best in a nurturing learning environment where they feel respected, valued, and supported academically, spiritually, and emotionally. As an NILD Educational Therapist, I provide innovative, research-backed therapies that develop the whole student, teaching them how to think, not just what to think, so they excel at school and become confident, independent learners who are prepared for life.
