Hi! Im Drice. I have been in the field for over 12 years and I've enjoyed every moment of it. I am married to a very loving Air Force man and we have three precious fur babies! We also have two sweet “bonus” children!! My hobbies are random because I take interest and find fun in most anything I’m presented with! I love to travel, learn about different cultures and if possible, meet the elders of the land to simply chat and absorb their beautiful energy and knowledge. A few other things that I enjoy are hiking, dining, walking in scenic places, dancing, and TikToking (haha). In Therapy, I find CBT to be most effective but I am very flexible in treatment. I am a natural helper and healer so I aim to effect change in each life that I'm given the opportunity to work with.
