I'm a lover of coffee, dark chocolate, jazz music and thunderstorms. I read and disappear into the biggest and most detailed books I can. It makes my soul happy. I live with humility, find dignity in darkness, celebrating small victories, and showing unconditional love to all who surround me. I teach children in China, and though I am not physically in their classroom, the experience is so enriching. I learn as much from them (if not more) than they do from me. It is beautiful. I absolutely love vegan food! I celebrate the joyful moments, however big or small. I love my windows down, my music up, and lots of time with no place to go, an open road in front of me. I miss the ocean, and I visit it whenever I can. My husband, a blanket, and a hoodie are some of my favorite places to be cuddles- add a cup of chai, a thick book, an aromatherapy candle, or some popcorn, and that is heaven on earth. I love old movies, film photography, the spontaneity of my munchkins as they grow up, and every moment in between.

I have a Master's in Psychology with an emphasis on Applied Behavior Analysis. I have focused my time on helping those with autism, but am slowly expanding to other areas including parenting, marriage, anxiety/depression, etc. I am available to those who want to be seen and heard. I am happy to listen when you need me. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. I'm glad you have taken this step, and I'm glad you are here. I look forward to talking with you. :-)
