Career Philosophy:
"I enjoy helping people enjoy their lives more. We have made a lot of progress with the stigmas of mental health; however, I still hear new patients say, 'I thought I could deal with this…I thought I was strong enough.' I like to remind patients THEY ARE strong enough; you don’t have to struggle! We are here to manage mental health symptoms with medications, supplements, and alternative treatments so you can go to therapy to learn coping skills and other effective ways to manage life."

Personal Interests:
In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my dogs. Volunteering has brought me a lot of joy this year. I love to travel a few times a year but also find great contentment in being home, curling up with a book, baking, and gardening.
