In my spare moments you will find me joyfully exploring nature, practicing imperfect-parenting, reading inspirational stories, and enjoying quality time with loved ones. Today my dance practice is limited, yet my spirit is not dissuaded, as my heart will forever belong to the arts.

I continue to have curiosities about psychology, and delight in exploring the field, daily. My deepest curiosity is the connection between mental health and total wellness, and how it intersects with the realities of our world today. In education and in practice I am honored to be surrounded by brilliant people and am truly humbled by their support. I’m excited by the challenges faced as my career unfolds, and eager to experience all life has to offer.
