“Our work will be a collaborative approach to identifying how you can hone the skills that allow you to find purpose, embrace hope, and achieve your goals.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
Growing up as an adoptee, I was more attuned to emotional distress in others. I believe everyone should have the same opportunity to experience a positive quality of life, love, success and growth that I was able to.
What should someone know about working with you?
Our work will be a collaborative approach to identifying how you can hone the skills that allow you to find purpose, embrace hope, and achieve your goals. I respect the reality of struggles and help you develop solutions. We will work on understanding your cognitive, emotional and behavior patterns and learn new thought processes and behaviors. Active participation and a self-driven desire for change is expected from clients (with occasional assignments given). We will periodically complete assessments, re-evaluate change/ progress.
How do your own core values shape your approach to therapy?
I believe in “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness,” and see therapy as an investment into converting this into reality. I believe people are resilient and can transcend beyond what society tells them to be.
