Outside of my work as a Psychologist, I am a wife of 18 years and a mama of 2. After traveling several years on the bumpy road of infertility, our amazing daughters came to us by way of domestic adoptions. For the past 14 years we’ve worked on making our home south of Nashville with the help of our unruly small dog. I enjoy time with family and friends, cooking, gardening, and writing.
