Meet Fanny
What was your path to pursuing the mental health field?
Fanny’s journey began in the child welfare system, where she supported families through parenting education, domestic violence education, and home-based case management. At the graduate level, she continued her work in child welfare, transitioning into home-based therapy with a focus on children and youth experiencing trauma and behavioral challenges.
What should someone know about working with you?
Our experiences are shaped by many aspects of our lives, and I honor the fullness of each person’s lived experience. I believe every individual’s experience, emotions, and struggles deserve understanding without judgment. My hope is to create a safe and supportive space where healing can unfold.
