Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard and supported while also gaining practical tools you can use in everyday life. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I believe growth comes from greater self-awareness, intentional action, and the willingness to face challenges rather than avoid them. That philosophy guides my work as a therapist. I help clients better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and develop practical skills that support long-term well-being.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both professional experience and personal life experiences that showed me the value of support, self-reflection, and resilience. Those experiences inspired me to create a space where clients feel understood, build confidence, and develop the tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
