Beyond the Therapy Room

I am passionate about personal growth and self-care, just as I encourage my clients to prioritize these in their lives. By staying committed to continual learning, I ensure I am fully present and equipped to support your healing journey. I also value disconnecting from work, exploring different cultures, and recharging through travel adventures and peaceful moments in nature with my husband and dogs. I encourage professional adults to cultivate hobbies outside the office—reminding us of the beautiful, expansive world waiting to be discovered. Finding balance and joy in all aspects of life is essential to thriving.
