What made you choose a career in healthcare?
I chose a career in behavioral health to be able to assist others in understanding themselves and gaining resiliency despite negative or traumatic experiences that they have encountered.

What types of care do you provide and what sets your care apart?
I provide trauma therapy along with first responder and military therapy. I also enjoy assisting others with life transitions, parenting, and grief therapies as well. I tend to be client-centered with a very real approach to mental health and mental health therapies. Being open with patients and building rapport where the patient feels comfortable and safe in the space provided.

What’s you’re patient care philosophy?
My philosophy for patient care is to learn, listen, respond, and provide tools that the patient can utilize to assist themselves long after they have concluded sessions with me.

What can patients look forward to when they visit you?
Patients can look forward to learning about themselves and understand that they do possess skills that make them resilient. Patients can also look forward to laughing some during sessions as appropriate humor can make one feel lighter in mind and heart.
