“I wanted to create my own practice and decided that March of 2020 was the right time to take that risk. And it's been a wild ride ever since, trying to build a practice through a pandemic and a couple of moves and a couple of babies and all the things that life has thrown our way, but it's been a really great experience at the same time. ”
