FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For my Social Work License, I must complete at least 40 hours of continuing education every two years. However, I generally end up doing more than is required because I am so interested in mental health and nutrition.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I feel like I have always known that I wanted to be involved in mental health and spent the early part of my career working with very small children with behavioral issues. I loved this work but once I had my own children, I decided to take a little break to focus on my family. During this time, I became obsessed with trying to improve my family's health through the foods they were putting in their bodies. Once I graduated from my nutrition program, it seemed a natural progression to use both the nutrition and the mental health part of my education in my work with clients.
