Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I have always been drawn to help people with emotional pain.

What are your interests outside of work?

I love to read, write, and pray.

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

Prayer.

What book have you read more than once?

The Gift of Therapy by Yalom. I love his approach to therapy and his clients.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

I used to work at an agency that had a program called "Holiday Families." We provided gifts for less fortunate children, as well as Christmas trees and food for the parents. Dropping off the gifts to the families and seeing the delight of the children was unforgettable. Being able to provide joy to them and brighten up their lives (even if it was just for a day) was a life-changing experience.

How do you recharge?

Spending time with my husband and children, vacationing, and spending time anywhere near water.
