As a therapist, she seeks to be a compassionate and Christ-like care provider who supports her patients and colleagues while pursuing continued growth and learning from her team and through formal education.   Whitney enjoys serving and leading at her church as well as traveling, playing tennis frequently, singing terribly in her car, and spending time with her family. She has a cat named Charm (who most do not consider very charming) and loves being an aunt to her 6 nieces and nephews. She has recently begun learning to play the guitar as well as pickleball. She is passionate about meeting people where they’re at and loving them well and she hopes to encourage others with the hope the Lord has given her.
