Additional Information

I am passionate about supporting others on their healing journey. Recently I have been supporting two close family members through treatment resistant depression. I helped steer them in the direction of ketamine assisted therapy, and have been guiding them to a place of stability and out of depression. I feel a calling to continue to work in that realm, and am actively pursuing a career which will allow me to do so.
