Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I've naturally been someone who enjoys helping others and becoming a mental health profession has given me the opportunity to continue this passion.

What are your interests outside of work?

I enjoy reading, outdoorsy activities, and playing with my dog.

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

Taking my dog for walks is something that I do daily that supports my mental and emotional well-being.

What book have you read more than once?

I've recently become a fan of the author Freida McFadden. So, if you enjoy reading psychological thrillers, her books are great.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

Make-A-Wish Foundation has been an organization that has made many dreams and wishes come true for critically ill children.

How do you recharge?

Taking breaks is necessary for me to recharge. It's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life but taking breaks, even if it's a short break, helps me greatly.

Do you have any pets?

I have one dog. My dog has such a big personality, he doesn't have to talk for you to know exactly what he is thinking or wants.
