Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Like most people, I went through my fair share of career ideas until I started college - Disney princess, artist, nun, ballerina, detective, chemical engineer, author, teacher. I was raised in a family where helping others was instilled into me and all of my siblings, so I knew that whatever I chose as my profession, I wanted to be able to be of service to others. When I got to college, I fell in love with psychology and knew that I wanted my career to have something to do with the subject matter. With all of this in mind, I felt that my calling was to become a therapist - and I've found so much fulfillment in my work ever since pursuing this field!

Work HistoryNice to meet you! I've worked in several settings over the past seven years - moving my way from a social work intern to an independently licensed social worker - that have helped me form a practice that can best help my clients. Through work in children's programs, inpatient substance abuse / mental health centers, faith-based counseling, and outpatient individual therapy, I've found that empathy and connection are essential to provide the best care possible, and I am careful to include them in each session. I believe that every client is doing their best at each moment in time and that all of us can push ourselves to do better. My goal is to create an environment of support and encouragement.
