Get To Know Me
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I've always enjoyed helping people. I felt a greater calling to become a therapist some years ago, I switched career paths, and I am glad I listened to that nudge. I feel God has blessed this vocation and has given me many life experiences that have helped me connect with each person I work with. It's a pleasure to be able to accompany you towards your path to healing.
