Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
People would always come to
me with their problems. I also helped grief and trauma. Also when I spent time with Aids patients I had to help
them with death.
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
Inside Outside 2 perfectly describes IFS.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
Grieving for
so many people helped me to be compassionate.
