Personal Life
I genuinely love this work. Therapy can be serious and deep, but it can also be playful and energizing. I show up as a real person in the room because authenticity benefits both of us.
​
Water has always been part of my life—I’ve been swimming since childhood and still compete occasionally. I’m a fitness enthusiast and also work as a holistic personal trainer, helping clients integrate mind and body.
​
I remain committed to my own growth through personal therapy (which I believe is essential for therapists), along with exercise, meditation, reading, and writing as part of my daily mental and physical hygiene. I practice what I encourage.
​
Outside the office, you’ll find me waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, or snow skiing. I don’t separate my humanity from my work—I believe bringing my full self into the room strengthens the depth, connection, and healing we create together.
