What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I have been through numerous emotional, relationship and life challenges in my life. These experiences sent me on a journey of immense growth where I developed an inner strength I didn't believe possible. This sparked a desire to help others who are struggling and desire change. It is incredibly rewarding to have the privilege of joining you on this path of healing.
What does a first session with you look like?
The main goal of our first session is going to be determining whether we are a good fit. I wholeheartedly believe the main factor in contributing to the success of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I will ask you questions to get to know you and understand your goals for therapy. I also encourage you to ask me questions to make sure I'm the best therapist for you. If it looks like we are a great match, then we will spend time making a plan for how to best meet your goals.
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 hard work - it will be both challenging and rewarding. You are the one in control of your treatment throughout the therapeutic process. I believe you are the expert in your life and the therapist is there to support you to achieve your goals.
