Why I do this work
I have a desire to help people feel understood and supported, especially in moments when they might feel alone, stuck, or felt like they do not have a safe space in their world.
Best part of my job
I enjoy watching people bloom by creating meaningful changes in their lives, learning new skills, and lifelong changes that help them live a more compassionate and graceful life.
Beyond the therapy room
I enjoy spending time with my family, pets, and trying new things.
