I am a licensed professional counselor who strives to incorporate balance into my practice and daily life. Balance is sought by each individual and entails a holistic process regardless of age.

My natural curiosity of how others think, behave and respond to external stimuli was reinforced when I lived in Japan for nearly 2 years.
