I was born in Vietnam and raised in the Bay Area in California; I was definitely a third culture kid! Then I married a soldier and moved to North Carolina in 2006. Since then, our small family has moved numerous times, but we definitely consider ourselves Southern, having lived here for many years now. We are fortunate to be part of a great community of interesting folks. I love people and no one I meet is a stranger for long! My passion has led me to working in a therapeutic setting with individuals, couples, and teenagers because I can empathize from a place of nonjudgment. I spent years in the legal profession. As interesting it was, I knew I wanted to be in a human services field. A long-time yogi, I became an instructor in 2006 and have found so much joy in this service to others and myself. I am now happy to be able to connect with others in an even more meaningful manner and make a positive difference in their lives. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families be happier and stronger.
