My journey to mental healthcare
I have always had an innate passion for helping others. Growing up I was drawn to helping others in need. Mental Health was an area of interest for me in college and I dived into the world of Social Work. Throughout my career in Medical Social Work, I explored all different areas of the health population and was able to adapt to each individual's crisis and their needs. Knowing I can help just one person in any way I can, is winning in life. It only takes ONE!
