Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
As a child with a curious mind, I often wondered, “What makes people do what they do? What drives people to make the decisions they make?” As a result of this, I was drawn to psychology in college as a field to help me answer these questions, as well as to help me navigate my own thoughts, emotions, and decisions. The combination of these interests and traits led me to advanced training and toward a doctorate. In my 24 years in the field, I have worked in a variety of outpatient settings and have always been involved in supervision and teaching roles; being curious will do that. Lifelong learning and a desire to share what I’ve learned (in CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, EFCT, and motivational enhancement) have given me much information about finding the proper tools and perspective for the individual I’m working with.
