How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I've had a couple of careers before feeling called to be a therapist. After high school, I was an administrative assistant for a few years, went to college and received a BA in Elementary Education. I taught in Naperville School District 204 for several years as a classroom teacher. Subsequently, I opened my own tutoring business - helping students with reading issues including dyslexia, development delays, etc. I became involved in a Transitional Living Program where I mentored women coming from homelessness and helping on their journey to independence. I was also a Stephen Minister for a couple of years which then led me to receiving my Master's Degree in Counseling.
