UNC Health Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Prestwick

I became a social worker because lending a helping hand to others is my passion. My areas of special interest are trauma, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and stress management. My approach to patient care embodies authenticity, empathy and problem solving. I look forward to joining you on your path toward healing and transformation. When out of the office, I enjoy walking nature trails, listening to jazz and spending time with friends and family.

I wanted to be a physician since I can remember. The human body intrigued me, and having the knowledge to improve peoples health felt like a super power. I believe in the patients autonomy and shared decision making, cemented on empathy, information and understanding the patients cultural and family background. Outside of work, I like to travel, eat good and new foods, spend time with my husband and daughter, and relax with movies.
