What do all those letters after your name mean?

M.A.: Masters degree in Counseling Psychology

Ph.D.: Doctor of philosophy in Counseling Psychology


The field of counseling psychology focuses on mental health specifically from a lifespan development, educational, and preventative perspective, with an emphasis on social justice.

What brought you to Health Quest?

After graduating my doctoral program and moving to Charlotte, I was eager to work somewhere that I could really build my professional identity. I was excited about the opportunities at HQ, and the genuine enthusiasm that each of the providers had. From my first interview, I could immediately tell Dr. Connell and Dr. Kelly genuinely wanted to get to know me and support the work I was passionate about (which honestly says a lot given it was a virtual interview!). When I visited the office, it was clear that collaboration was a value. There are so many people with such unique, high-level skillsets who all collaborate to support one another. I wanted to be a part of that!

What does innovation mean for you and your practice?

Since being at Health Quest, I’ve realized that the focus on innovation is not just a focus on Innovative technology but also just overall culture of creativity. That might mean using virtual reality in therapy, but also includes playing games that help to meet therapeutic goals, or going outside for “walking therapy” sessions, or to kick around a soccer ball! To me, innovation helps me personalize interventions for my clients since there is no one size fits all.
