“I come from a family that believes in healing others and healing myself.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
My path to becoming a therapist was an easy one. My dad was a psychiatrist and my mom was a psychiatric nurse. Many of our conversations were around psychology and helping others. I have over 20 years of experience and love helping others reach their goals.
What should someone know about working with you?
I do a full intake and we collaboratively set goals together. I do assign homework if the client wants homework. Sometimes, I use a whiteboard to illustrate my points, as most people are visual and they can snap a picture on their phone for future reference if desired.
What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
I continue to build competency in the field by attending continuing education in all the areas I treat, which allows me to stay on the cutting-edge of my field.
How do your core values shape your approach to therapy?
I come from a family that believes in healing others and healing myself. I was encouraged to seek therapy as needed, which gave me an advantage and aided me in being more successful than my peers who didn't attend therapy.
What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
I am excited about telehealth for those who can't come into the office. It is convenient and time-efficient.
