Wholeness
As a mental health provider and a strong believer in whole person care, I understand the importance of caring for my mental, spiritual, relational, and physical wellbeing. Away from the office, you will find me volunteering in my community, planning gatherings with friends and family, participating in church services, or somewhere in the mountains. These types of wellness activities strengthen me to genuinely care for and connect with people.
