She is currently continuing her professional development through specialty training with Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP), enhancing her ability to serve the unique mental health needs of military-connected servicemen and women and their families.

About Dee Anne
Dee Anne is a proud military parent. She and her husband enjoy spending time with their three children and their many spoiled pets. She loves reading (preferably on/near a beach but anywhere will do), game nights, being her husband's backpack on his motorcycle, travel, and photographing her adventures. She aspires to someday turning these images into paintings or sketches but for now they live on her phone. A lifelong Midwesterner and farm kid, Dee Anne brings authenticity, humor, and compassion to everything she does. She enjoys a good laugh (especially if it’s a cringe-worthy joke) and values the balance between deep work and lighthearted connection. Whether in her personal life or in her practice, Dee Anne approaches each relationship with steadiness, empathy, and a strong sense of purpose.
