Interests

• I enjoy reading evidence-based literature and incorporating best practices into my treatment plans

• I'm an artist, and my mediums are painting and jewelry making. I'm also a dressage rider, horrible at best, but it is my therapy. There is a quote, "The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a horse." Teddy Roosevelt said that. I consider myself a foodie, but I'm not that enthused about cooking for one person.
