Personal:

Becoming a psychologist is a daydream-come-true for this semi-late professional bloomer. While my first career was in the coffee industry, I found my way back to college in my mid-twenties to study psychology. Returning to college is one of the best decisions I’ve made short of starting my family with my partner. I love my job. When I’m not at Boreal Clinic, you can find me outside appreciating nature with my family, reading books, playing with our dog, practicing yoga and meditation, cooking, shuffling my kids to their hobbies, and still savoring coffee as much as I healthily can.
