Why did you become a mental health professional?

I have a passion for helping others. I am passionate about providing quality care and, building strong client connections and relationships.

What are your interests outside of work?

I enjoy yoga, dance, spending quality time with my children and husband, and serving at my church.

Do you have any pets?

We rescued a seven-year-old coonhound last year. This hound was left in the streets and part of a puppy mill most of her life. After a year, we have built trust and surrounded her with the most loving of conditions. She has grown from a scared, timid, skeptical dog to a loving, confident, and calm animal.
