Personal Note: 

I enjoy nature, walking, reading, caring for my plants, eating savory and  spicy foods, attending live performances and shows, as well as playing my guitar.

As a Coloradan, one of my favorite places to relax is near a crackling campfire, or anywhere I am able to see the nighttime stars.

I enjoy laughing, viewing live comedy, exploring new places, and spending time with friends, and, especially family. These things are my favorite!

"I believe the best therapist is the one who connects with you!" -Dr. Felix
