Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I have a passion and purpose for guiding people to radical self-acceptance, deep compassion, integration of their stories, and embracing their full humanity.

What are your interests outside of work?

I am a sports mom, certified yoga teacher and meditation coach. I enjoy traveling, all types of dance styles, and group aerobic classes.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

Meditation, exercise, and daily priming is a must for me everyday.

What book have you read more than once?

The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. I keep this book with me most of the time, it reminds me of what it most important- that I am energy/spirit having a physical experience.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

Out of the Closet, a thrift store and pharmacy. They support the LGBTQ+ community with health needs and fashionable clothing. Everyone deserves to be healthy and look good without breaking the bank!

How do you recharge?

Sleep and the spa for a scrub and massage!

Do you have any pets?

I have a fur baby named Baxter, he is 3 years old. We are both Pisces – he was born a day after me and in typical Pisces fashion, he is loving, intuitive, and stubborn at times!
