What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I have always wanted to be that person to help empower others to find solutions to their problems. I decided to become a therapist after receiving help myself at a young age and feeling supported and not judged for getting help. This had a profound impact on my sense of self-esteem and I gravitated to this profession naturally. Psychology has always fascinated me and I enjoy working with clients who are self-motivated to figure things out. I look at the therapeutic relationship as something sacred and feel honored to work with my clients and help them.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I will meet you wherever you are and we will work together to reach your goals. Therapy is a process and we will get to know each other and build trust over time. I am patient and compassionate however I will call you out on your behaviors in a supportive way when I need to. I look forward to walking through this journey together.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I believe there is no one size fits all approach to therapy and treat each client as an individual. I tend to utilize a strengths perspective to help clients see their true abilities and help them build upon this foundation.
