“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get” - Forrest Gump

 

This quote is true; however, I have always felt as though my purpose in life is to support, encourage and guide those in need of mental health services to strive to reach their fullest potential. It’s important for those in need, to let their light shine in a world that is not so bright. 

 

I have always known I was supposed to help others, but I did not know where to start. I do have experience working with a variety of populations within mental health. Through my experience in this field, I have worked alongside Board Certified Behavioral Analysts as a behavioral technician with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with those from diverse backgrounds over the years has opened my eyes to the concept that it is important to meet people where they are, to help them get to where they want to be. I feel as though one shoe does not fill all, so it is okay to try and find the right fit for the support someone is looking for. I enjoy helping and connecting with people to create a safe space for all. 

 

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University. I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from McKendree University. I am so blessed to begin this journey in life at Diversified Health and Wellness, I look forward to growing both professionally and personally throughout my journey here at DHWC. I eagerly await the opportunity of helping and connecting with those I work with, I will strive to be the advocate they need to feel welcome, strong, courageous and ready to take on this rollercoaster we call life.
