My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am the mother of two adult children. I believe Black Lives Matter. I advocate for the LGBTQ community. I believe health care, housing, and a living wage is a human right. I've also been through many of the same sufferings many of my clients have been through and come out the other side. I'm very open and honest about this. I ran an in-home childcare for 17 years. I'm a certified parent coach. I love an autistic little. EMDR changed my life. I went back to college to become a therapist as a result of that.
