Why did you become a therapist? Therapy spoke to me from the moment I began my own journey. I ultimately decided to change careers to be able to give from my own experiences. It’s the best job in the world!
What are your interests outside of work? I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing with my kids, being outside, and playing and watching sports of all kinds.
Do you have any pets? Leo the Puggle is 13 years old!
