“Everything we do and everything that happens to us, brings us to where we are today.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
I started my career working in finance. After many years of doing work that wasn't aligned with who I was, I decided to become a therapist. The decision was a hard one, and took a lot of soul searching; it was the best decision I could have made. I now do what I was meant to do. This life is a journey. Everything we do and everything that happens to us, brings us to where we are today. This perspective informs my work with my clients every day.
What should someone know about working with you?
Through our work together, clients can expect to feel more empowered in facing life's inevitable challenges, more hopeful and engaged in working towards their goals, and more able to have empathy and acceptance towards themselves.
What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
I believe it is extremely important to continue to learn and grow throughout our lives and careers. I make an effort to learn about new treatment modalities and attend conferences every year. There are so many treatment developments that I am excited about. In the past year I have trained in Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems and continue to look for new treatment approaches to incorporate into my practice.
