My passion
“I have always believed in the profound impact that compassionate care can have on individuals struggling with mental health challenges. My passion lies in bridging traditional psychiatric treatments with innovative therapies that cater to the unique needs of each client. Exploring new possibilities in therapy, such as equine therapy, is something I would love to do in the future. Spending time at the barn with my daughter and her horse enriches my understanding of how nature and animals can provide comfort and grounding. These experiences not only enhance my personal life but also inspire my professional aspirations. It’s a privilege to help clients rediscover their strengths and embrace their journey toward healing and well-being.”
