Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I began college as a pre-med natural sciences major. During my studies, I was required to take a psychology course and loved it. I proceeded to take more psychology courses and realized that is where my passion lies. I switched majors and also began seeking my own therapy at that time. My mental health counselor truly saved my life, and I hope to be able to help others in such a profound way.
