Meet Our Team

I've been enjoying this journey since 2005; it has been full of joy, sorrow, fun, expectations, hellos, goodbyes and farewells. This job requires that I give my best at all times. There are so many wonderful people here and that have passed through Crossroads, both employees and clients. I feel very fortunate and honored to manage this clinic. I have three awesome grown children, and a beautiful granddaughter and not to mention my three spoiled Chihuahuas. I thank God everyday for bringing me to Crossroads.
