Outside the Office

A Little About Me

Outside of work, I serve as a board member for several nonprofit organizations that contribute to mental wellness in the community.

I enjoy reading (I am part of a book club), gardening, dancing, live music, theater, and I love hanging out with my Australian Labradoodle.

I absolutely love traveling around the globe as much as I can, as I believe that is one of the best ways to experience the beautiful diversity that exists amongst us.

During the first visit with me, we will begin with dialogue focused on developing a comprehensive tailored treatment plan. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your goals—like action items that will support you achieving your goals and your reason for coming to see me.

I look forward to working collaboratively with you towards your journey of transformation and healing.
