Q: What brought you to health quest?
A: I am thrilled to become a member of the HealthQuest team. After working in Boston for many years, it has felt wonderful to be welcomed back to my home state of North Carolina. I have spent my career working with adolescents and young adults in different medical settings, and I am excited to focus more exclusively on mental health at HealthQuest. I have really enjoyed being able to closely collaborate with everyone on the HQ Team. This is such a unique group of talented, friendly, and creative people. Everyone here wants to make the client’s experience exceptional, and that is clear from the moment you step into our office.
Q: What does innovation mean for you and your practice?
A: When COVID emerged, I was working in a large hospital and I saw first hand the need for fast, novel, and effective re-structuring of our healthcare systems to keep up with changing demands for care. During this time, telehealth became a new way for medical providers to reach patients in times when face-to-face visits were increasingly difficult to access. As the expansion of telehealth increased, we saw the many benefits to being able to provide care in this way. Today, I am proud to be able to use telehealth to reach clients across the state of NC who may otherwise not be able to visit me in-person.
