Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Before becoming a counseling intern, I spent 18 years working in finance. While I valued that experience, I felt drawn toward work that allowed me to support people in a more personal and meaningful way. My own career transition has given me a deeper appreciation for the uncertainty, stress, and growth that often come with major life changes.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Choosing to start counseling is a meaningful step, and I appreciate the trust it takes to share your story with someone new. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, talking openly, and exploring challenges without judgment. My approach is collaborative—I believe counseling is a partnership where we work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change. I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care while continuing to grow as a counselor.
