When I'm not in the therapy room, I'm usually seeking out the things that help me slow down, recharge, and stay connected to the present moment. I love spending time in nature, exploring new places, and taking road trips or weekend getaways that allow me to step away from the busyness of everyday life. Whether it's walking through a scenic trail, discovering a charming small town, or simply enjoying a beautiful view, I find that being outdoors helps me reset and return to my work feeling grounded.I'm also someone who genuinely enjoys learning. I'm always exploring new ideas about relationships, mental health, and personal growth, whether that's through books, podcasts, professional development, or conversations with others. I'm naturally curious, and I believe that continuing to learn helps me grow not only as a therapist but also as a person.The people closest to me would probably say I spend a little too much time talking about travel, good food, and finding hidden gems to explore. I also enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, sharing meaningful conversations, and appreciating the simple moments that often bring the most joy.Above all, I try to practice what I encourage my clients to do: make space for rest, connection, and self-care. Taking time to recharge allows me to show up with presence, compassion, and energy for the individuals, couples, and families I have the privilege of supporting.
