My Life
As a first-generation American, Christian, wife, mother of two children and a pet owner, my personal experiences shape my mental health approach. Balancing work, family, and education, I understand the daily pressures. Treating my own post-partum depression and social anxiety using traditional and holistic methods, has given me insight into mental wellness. I believe in destigmatizing mental health and promoting that individualized treatments are essential.
Self-care
As a mental health professional, I prioritize self-care and its positive impact on overall well-being. I advocate for taking time for oneself, whether through travel, family time, or self-pampering. These activities contribute to a balanced life and improved mental health. I encourage patients to prioritize self-care for stress management and happiness. I'm excited to support you on your mental wellness journey!
