I absolutely love my profession. Throughout my career I have mostly worked with the sickest of the sick. I have seen the impact of these illnesses on not only the patients but their families as well. My greatest passion and gift is to be able to meet people where they are in life and strive to get them back on track to live a rich and meaningful life. I believe that I will be able to help those with mental illness to find healthy perceptions of themselves, and to strengthen their relationships and family lives to live a peaceful, complete and well-rounded life going forward.
