What is your patient care philosophy?

My patient care philosophy encompasses putting the care and well-being of the client first. I like to foster a safe and comfortable environment so people can express themselves how they see fit. I want to make sure everyone is not only heard but understood to provide skills and services to better themselves moving forward.

How does your work affect lives?

Therapy can add many different types of skills from increasing knowledge, perspective, self awareness, and other important aspects of everyday life. Therapy is tough work and I appreciate everyone that takes that first step in addressing what they have going on in their person life.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

The most enjoyable part of my work is the client's progress over time. No matter how big or small that progress is, you see them becoming a better version of themselves. With how diverse our population is in the Orlando area, it's an honor to help serve them in hopes that they pass on their skills to people in their lives.

What are some interesting facts about you?

In my off time I am a foodie, gamer, reader, and find time to travel around Florida to enjoy different types of foods/ places so please come with recommendations, because all are welcome:)      

Also, an avid green thumb gardener of pineapples, tomatoes, berries, kale, carrots, broccoli, and more.
