Aside from my work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, family, and friends. I also love solitude, reading and writing with a cup of coffee or tea. I yearn for the outdoors, to go backpacking, snowshoeing or hiking. I need to be by a body of water, preferably the ocean, or a mountain range to keep my sanity! Above all, I love to travel. I lived and studied in Chile. I have traveled extensively through Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and the Netherlands Antilles. Currently, I am planning a trip to France and the Philippines, and I recently learned to scuba dive. I look forward to advancing my PADI certification and diving everywhere I can throughout my travels.My Approach to therapy
My instinctual and natural approach is getting to know you. I want to hear about your pursuit to find meaning in your life or your search for answers. I want to learn about the obstacles you have overcome. more
