Get To Know Me
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
Therapy is a joint venture where we are partners in self discovery and healing.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I was inspired to help others due to a family history of mental health and substance use disorders. With this, I understand the importance of having a trained professional to discuss these issues.
What does a first session with you look like?
The first session is a big step for many. This time is spend getting to know each other, setting a safe and open environment for collaboration.
