Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I have always loved working with children, and I absolutely loved studying psychology in college. When I graduated, I knew that I wanted a career that would combine my love for children and families with the world of psychology and mental health. These passions led me to a career as a licensed therapist that specializes in working with children, teens and families.
