Aloha mai kākou!

I believe taking care of our mental health and well being is one of the most important things we can do. Understanding how hard life may be at times, I found myself intrigued to pursue a career that allows me to help others and show them that they are not alone and that they too, can heal. With a strong and growing foundation in mental health care and the creative arts, I feel passionate about wanting to support others on their healing journey. 

With my previous background as a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) technician, I have gained valuable experience in a behavioral health clinic environment, honing my technical skills, and developing a thoughtful approach to patient observation, education, and interaction. My background also includes working as a scribe for a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, further expanding my knowledge of patient care. 

Having grown up in a family that prioritized open communication about mental health, I approach each patient with kindness and empathy. I am committed to creating a safe and soothing environment, especially for those who may feel anxious or hesitant about new treatments. I always assure every patient that I am here to simply help guide, educate, and make sure that they are comfortable throughout their healing journey through TMS. 

Outside of work, I nurture my own well-being through creative pursuits like art, journaling, and poetry, as well as spending quality time with loved ones, taking walks, and practicing yoga. All of which reinforce my belief that caring for our mental and emotional health is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and our communities. 

My hope is that we can work together, so that you can find yourself again and feel the peace and happiness that you deserve. 

I look forward to working with you on this journey of self-healing!
