Supervisor: Karena Heyward, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, ACS

I chose to become a mental health professional because I am passionate about supporting individuals in their journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth. I am drawn to this field because it offers a unique opportunity to cultivate genuine connections with people and to provide them with a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. 

I bring a compassionate and patient-centered approach to therapy, coupled with experience in delivering evidence-based interventions. 

I became involved with VTMHI because I strongly believe in the power of accessible mental health care for all individuals, regardless of their financial circumstances. By joining this initiative, I hope to contribute my skills and expertise to help bridge the gap of access by providing much-needed support to those who need it.
