Fun Facts:

Proudest Moment: My proudest moments are the birth of my two boys. They are my everything, and birth was so very tough but so rewarding! When I held them in my arms all the pain melted away.

SuperPower: My super power is my creativity! I love to keep session engaging and fun, and I strive to create a safe and enjoyable space for the client.

Free Time: I love to coach my 9 year olds soccer team. I also enjoy art and love to draw and paint. My favorite thing to do is spend my weekends exploring the outdoors with my two boys.

Self-Care: I love a good nap! I also enjoy doodling and sketching, and curling up with a good book.
