About Me

I listen. I care. That sounds simple, but it is a significant part of who I am.

Beyond the necessary academic and professional endeavors listed below, I also come with a wealth of life-lived lessons as well as skills from the fields of education, health, business, and counseling. I currently practice in the southeast region of Washington state.

I believe that life was not meant to be lived alone. We need others as we create our own flavor of who we are. Expect to get blindsided, for life is unpredictable. Yet, each experience is a piece of the mosaic of how you and I mold the experiences we have had and continue to have with people who cross our paths.
