Ephesians 2:10: Created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Grateful to have shared the impactful work we're doing to address health disparities and enhance outcomes for children and families in Adam's county. #SPPAC2024

Thrilled to share I've been accepted into a Healthcare Policy & Regulations certification program and received a scholarship to pursue it! Ready to learn new skills to integrate disciplines and amplify community voices, driving impactful policy and systemic change.

Just had the sweetest experience! My patient started jumping and clapping when she saw me, saying, "I'm so excited to have a Black therapist! I've never had a Black therapist." Moments like these are why I do what I do. #BlackInPsych
