Fun Facts

Beyond the Therapy Room

Favorite self-care activity?

"Back when I was a college student, whenever stress got the best of me, I had this quirky habit. I would hop on the campus shuttle and ride around aimlessly, with no particular destination in mind. It might sound strange, but there was something oddly comforting about it. It was like a mini escape from reality"

Favorite book as a teen?

I was obsessed with 'Flyy Girl' by Omar Tyree! It's this awesome coming-of-age story about a smart and sassy teenager who learns some tough lessons about love and independence. I must have read that book at least 20 times!

Favorite stress-busting technique as a teen?

Whenever I needed a good laugh and wanted to reduce stress, my go-to TV shows were the ones on Nickelodeon. Shows like Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Doug never failed to bring a smile to my face and help me unwind.
