Whether she is in the office with patients or in an education setting, she is passionate about connecting with other people and meeting them where they are on their journey.
She firmly believes in the importance of alone time and you can often find her riding her bike, playing her piano or perusing antique shops for mid-century modern furniture. She lives by the beach with her best friend for life, their four rambunctious kids, and an old, lazy cat.
