My Why?
I became a mental health professional because I am passionate about helping individuals as they seek support for challenges they are facing.
Check out the Q&A below to get to know me a little better:
When I am not working, I love to bake, cook, read, and enjoy a good TV show. I also love discovering new restaurants and I am always excited to try something new.
I enjoy going for long walks and spending time in nature. I am lucky to live near a lake - there’s nothing better.

I love to explore new cities, ideally finding the hidden gems that locals love. Travelling also allows me to indulge my foodie interests, it’s always fun trying local cuisine in a new place.
