Q&A With Jodi
What do you enjoy most about your work?
How did you begin?
I’ve always been drawn to the field of psychology, choosing it as the focus of my elective coursework in college. From 2016 to 2018, I served as a mentor and quickly recognized how deeply emotional and mental well-being impact all areas of life. Through that experience, I saw how many individuals—regardless of backgrounds—struggle to make sense of their internal experiences without adequate support. This realization led me to pursue formal training and begin my journey toward becoming a counselor.
On a personal note...
I enjoy spending my time outside the office by cuddling with my cats Orla and Sybil, playing sand volleyball, watching a good movie and trying all the Austin hot spots for tacos and Tex Mex.
