Get To Know Me

What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?

People believe that therapy is a place where therapists solve problems. It is a place where therapists are effective listeners, teachers, that provide individuals with tools to empower themselves to live effectively in their community.

If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?

Therapy is a safe place where you can disclose your most intimate issues, but also a place to blossom and learn different techniques to empower yourself leading to advocating for yourself.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

Patience and perseverance to achieve empowerment.
