In keeping in line with a “Practice What I Preach” model, I firmly believe in maintaining a sound mind, body, and spirit for not only my clients but for myself as well. To achieve this sound balance, I practice mindfulness techniques, strength and weight train, and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I am a licensed psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience ranging from individual, family, and organizational, all the way to community level. Let’s talk, assess your needs, and create a plan!
