The person behind the practice
When I'm not in session, I'm usually being pulled in about four directions at once. Off the clock, I'm a toddler mom, first responder wife, and dog mom of three!
That means I know what it's like to run on very little sleep and still have to show up, and what it's like to hold down the home front while someone you love runs toward hard things, carrying a version of stress that's hard to explain to people outside that life. I'm also a tattoo enthusiast, always planning my next piece and genuinely drawn to how much meaning can live in something permanent.
I don't bring a polished, distant version of myself into the therapy room. I bring the real one, someone who gets what it's like to be doing a lot, feeling a lot, and still showing up anyway.
