Hi, most of my adult life has been spent working with others in the area of mental wellness. It is a passion to help others grow, learn, heal and self actualize. I am a wife, stepmother, mother and owner of 3 fur babies. Horseback riding, surfing, travel and meeting new people energize me as does a day of peace and solitude in nature.
