About Me
I have been in the Quincy community working with mental health needs since 2019. I have experience working in case management, school social work, and medical social work.
I have always been passionate about meeting people where they are at. I have been with Blessing since 2022, where I started in the emergency/acute behavioral health setting. I am now established with Integrated Care, located in the departments of Family Medicine and at the Blessing Bariatric Institute.
I collaborate with Blessing providers to assist patients in learning coping skills, adjustment, coordinate medical care for mental health-related issues, and behavioral management. I provide support to patients who are in the bariatric surgery and medical weight loss management tracks.
I typically use a Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach, utilizing 5 sessions with patients, with the option of a referral for longer-term therapy.
