Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I became a mental health professional because my passion is to help everyone become the best version of themselves. The mind is the first place that version manifests and takes life.

What are your interests outside of work?

I love painting, baking, and playing with animals.

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

One thing I do to support my mental health daily is unplug from social media for at least one focus to just focus on my needs emotionally and mentally.

What book have you read more than once?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower! It's a book that emphasizes the need for mental health and self-care. It shows that you never really know what someone is going through.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

St. Jude's Children's Hospital. They focus on care and providing a fighting chance for children. They instill hope in a time that can seem hopeless.
