Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I had a troubled life growing up with a lot of trauma and dysfunction. I grew up mainly in foster care, and saw how there needed to be a better system of therapists out there who could understand better after I myself did not find a therapist I connected with. After growing up around a lot of trauma and my own struggles with mental health I wanted to be able to learn through school how to help myself but also to apply it to the clients I could help one day.
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
Connection! Building rapport and establishing a connection where a client feels safe and comfortable is key!
What does a first session with you look like?
I really try to get to know the client first and start trying to build that connection with them. Ask them about themselves like hobbies, interests, likes/dislikes, therapy experiences etc., and what they hope to get out of their experience.
