“I approach mentorship as a partnership – I’m trying to pass down my knowledge and experience to someone, while understanding how best to go about that process in a manner that is most suitable to them. In addition, knowing when to be hands on and hands off is a key component to the learning process. I believe individuals learn best when they have the opportunity to learn via doing as opposed to being monitored at every moment. I aim to cultivate an environment where an individual’s creativity can shine and help in building the type of Therapist they aim to be.

One thing I learned early on in my career from a trusted mentor is: ask, ask, ask all the questions! It’s always good to learn and even better to surround yourself with those more knowledgeable. Don’t let unfamiliar situations intimidate you – Instead, use them as opportunities to learn, grow and gain confidence. Wake up each day with the drive to be better and push yourself!”
