Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I have always wanted to help people through their mental illness. It gives me a sense of joy and worth every day to help people going through tough times. It also brings me joy when people accomplish their goals.

What are your interests outside of work?

I play videogames, watch sports, play with my dog, and ride motorcycles.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

I play video games or exercise.

How do you recharge?

I like to go on vacations to help recharge.

Do you have any pets?

I have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog is very funny and is not a morning dog so every morning I have to pick her up (she's 50 pounds) to get her to go outside.
