When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy the simple things that bring joy and balance to life. I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter series and love the occasional escape into reality TV. Walks in nature help me recharge, and I’m always excited to try new foods and cuisines. Music is a constant in my day, and spending time with friends and colleagues keeps me grounded. These moments outside of work help me show up with presence, warmth, and authenticity in the therapy space.
