Why Healthcare
Giovanna enjoys providing others with understanding, compassion, and psychoeducation in challenging times. Having a passion for providing mental healthcare stems from an understanding that all humans are challenged with some kind of pain at any point in their lives, and it is essential to process the event and emotions in a healthy way to heal. Giovanna demonstrates knowledge and competency to provide mental healthcare to assist clients in their healing journey. However, sometimes words are not enough. In this case, Giovanna would implement art therapy if clinically necessary to assist the client in working through a complex emotion. Giovanna believes in the power of creativity to assist in healing.
