Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I am a helper by nature and believe my purpose is to help others on this journey called life. I have always gravitated to work / jobs that centered around helping others. I’ve found that being present with someone without judgment, practicing empathy and compassion is rewarding. It allows me to support people where they are currently at emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. This has allowed me to learn a lot about myself and has helped me grow as a person.
What does a first session with you look like?
The initial session is all about gathering background information on the reason for therapy, establishing goals, and building rapport. Clients can expect to be vulnerable without judgement, challenged when needed, grow in self-awareness, gain insight and solutions to life stressors.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Progress will be determined by a decrease in distressing symptoms and an increase in healthy coping strategies. Sometimes, homework will be assigned depending on the situation.

Work HistoryI enjoy working with adults who suffer from depression, anxiety, life stressors and trauma. My approaches include trauma-focused cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused therapy. I describe the therapeutic relationship between a counselor and the client as a collaborative one. The client and the counselor should work together to set goals that will help enhance the client’s well-being and establish healthier patterns of relating to oneself and others. Clients can expect to be vulnerable without judgement, challenged when needed, grow in self-awareness, gain insight and solutions to life stressors.
