Summary

After many years working as a nurse in home healthcare settings, I have developed a deep passion for mental health counseling. My experiences here have led me to discover the meaningful effect a supportive influence can have on one's life when facing adversity.


Further, my various personal experiences with several mental health topics, such as neurodiversity needs and personality disorders, have led me down a path of wanting to find and pursue treatment options that will ensure we all have a chance at a successful and fulfilling life.
