What do you actually do at work?

Provide therapy for individuals, couples and families

How do you help others succeed? 

I focus on the positives, listen, and help define goals. I am often described as a very genuine and encouraging person.

Is your desk/office messy or organized?  

Organized, but there are days...

Last book read? 

Educated by Tara Westover.  I was fascinated to see how she overcame so much and went on to thrive.

Last vacation spot?

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, just got back the second week of January! The turquoise water was amazing.

What is your personal or business philosophy?

My favorite quote is “She believed she could, so she did.”  My philosophy is to envision where I want to be while believing I can get there.

What would other FEW members be surprised to learn about you?

I received the scholarship from FEW in 2005. I always appreciated this honor from this group of professional women, and so when I had the opportunity to join, I jumped at it.
