If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? Dog Trainer.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? Through my own journey of life, I have seen how a supportive person walking through those times with you is important in overcoming and achieving your goals. I want to be that support for others.
What is something you have learned from your patients? They are the expert of their life and I enjoy getting to learn from each client.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I really excel at thinking "outside the box" when it comes to ways to support my clients in achieving their goals. Therapy is not one size fits all and I am flexible to meet my client's needs.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Self awareness and ability to manage stressors.
What are a few of your personal achievements? I completed a Triathlon, my dog and I received an invite to Nationals in Dock Diving, and I learned how to do much of my own home remodeling.
