I became a social worker because I believe no one should have to face life's hardest moments alone. As a Behavioral Health Therapist, I have supported others through illness, loss, caregiving, family change, and some of life's most difficult seasons.
Along the way, I've also volunteered my time into local community organizations throughout the years.
All of this has taught me something simple: people don't need to be fixed. They need to be heard, understood, and given the tools and support to heal. That belief is at the heart of how I practice.
