Empathy, in every design stage.

In 2015, I was a rock in a hard place. My therapy practice was at capacity and a waitlist that stretched months. Patients needed services but insurances were not covering and pro bono doesn't pay the bills. Although I enjoyed treating the individual, I noticed levels of stress and frustration taking me away from my practice knowing there are people not getting the services they need.

Design was my "aha!" moment. My love for mental health transformed through my love for designing platforms and new innovations. To create mediums to serve individuals at scale. In other words, as a product designer, I am able to serve more people than I could in a lifetime as a therapist.
