"I became an LCSW because it enables me to provide services to individuals not allowed by lesser licenses. I encourage people to manage their lifestyle to enhance and promote health and wellness in general.
"When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, playing the banjo, and running. I also teach tai chi."
