Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My mission is to cultivate a space in which you feel safe to come as you are and discover your authentic self. I view therapy as an ongoing, collaborative process in which we will establish and revisit goals together. I utilize a trauma-informed lens when examining client issues and believe that the past can provide insight into the present.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I have known that I wanted to be a therapist since I was 16 years old and had the opportunity to shadow a mental health professional in my community. Since then, I have been working endlessly to make my dream of becoming a therapist come true and now it has! I'm inspired daily by the opportunity to help make someone feel understood.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
As a queer therapist, I understand what it is like to meet someone new and not know if you will be accepted. This is why it is my top priority to cultivate a safe, genuine relationship with you where I earn your trust before we dive deep. Additionally, I use my own journey with mental health to tap into my empathy and understanding for what you're going through.
