I believe that improving challenges with mental health is a necessary part of improving quality of life. Through personal and professional experiences, I have found that people often do not access mental health support because they fear not being understood. After working as a nurse in trauma, hospice, and care coordination, I have found that there were so many people who needed mental health care that they could not access. I went back to school to advance my degree to close that gap.

I take a patient-centered approach to care. This means that I see each person as an individual and provide care that is evidence-based and fit the unique needs of each person, rather than applying an algorithm.

My hope is to help patients feel heard and hopeful at the end of their sessions.
