About Me
My goal is to provide an empathetic environment where you can feel comfortable sharing all aspects of yourself. I encourage collaboration during the session, but also provide structure so there’s a clear path to meet goals.
I grew up in Orange County and was excited when my Texas-born husband agreed to move to California. We have three kids who keep me busy and outside of work you’ll find me reading, at the park, or playing with a new gadget (currently the Ninja Creami Swirl).
