Professional History: Having worked as an acupuncturist and herbalist for 26 years, as well as a nurse at a major hospital for 14 years, I appreciate the importance of addressing wellbeing as including body, mind, and spirit.
Bio: It is an honor and a privilege to be an older student of counseling; I am grateful to be on this path. Along with being an avid reader, writer, and baker, I enjoy languages, travel, my dear friends and family, cycling, dancing, and playing ultimate frisbee and pickleball. My husband and I have one child. I also have a podcast with my friend Anja, called Mindful Mavens.
