Why did you become a mental health professional?
Psychology has always fascinated me and help people has always brought me joy, being a therapist allows me to merge those two passions.
What are your interests outside of work?
I enjoy going on adventures, being in nature, hiking, watching movies, and spending time with my family.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
Spending time in nature is a great way for me to ground myself. Every day I find myself at the ocean, a park or a trail to relax and do some mindfulness meditation.
