What is your style/approach to therapy?
Our first session will be spent exploring your therapeutic needs and answering any questions you may have. Many people are hesitant to being therapy and I strive to make the process as comfortable and productive as possible. We will work together to prioritize your needs. We will devise a strategy specific to your needs and your desired outcomes. We will work at your pace while also challenging you to step outside of your routine at times.
What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?
One of the most important lessons I've learned throughout my work as a therapist is that it is important to "learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations." We all face barriers and road blocks which inform our decisions, our choices, and our abilities to overcome difficult situations. I have found that by practicing using skills during good times, we become better at activating those skills during stressful times.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Like many others, my path to becoming a therapist started with receiving my own therapy. As an adolescent I was blessed to work with some amazing counselors which lead me to want to support others the way my counselors supported me. As an adult both before and after becoming a therapist, I've been able to learn from amazing people whose work has further solidified that providing therapy and collaborating with others is exactly what I want to be doing.
