she grew up in manhattan, comes from a very wealthy background, and went to school for psychology - she made the move to maui in 2009 after she got her phd, and promptly set up shop, and she's been working as a psychologist that specializes in addiction and mental illness ever since! personality wise, she's very easy going; very open minded, always happy to lend an ear/give advice, very protective of the people she's close to. sort of a mother hen type! she'll strike up a conversation with anyone, haha.
