“Therapy with me is fun; I strive to make it a comfortable experience where you feel like you’re just sitting back talking to a close friend.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
Therapy was all I ever wanted to do once I got focused; I jumped straight into the major in college and never looked back! I’ve worked with every population of people and have some stories to tell but I know that I have found my sweet spot in who I want to serve and truly love making a difference in people's lives.
What should someone know about working with you?
Therapy with me is fun; I strive to make it a comfortable experience where you feel like you’re just sitting back talking to a close friend. I do not follow a structure that you’ll be able to identify, instead allowing the conversation to flow naturally and reach core issues without escalating symptoms.
How do your core values shape your approach to therapy?
I have a strong belief in accepting people as they are and that shows up in my work as a therapist. I want people to see their strengths and not continue to try to change for others. I focus a lot on helping my clients write their own stories instead of following the narratives of others.
What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
I absolutely love the move toward normalizing therapy in general. People are seeing the benefit and understanding that we don’t have to go through life trying to figure out everything on our own. I love therapy and want everyone to be able to benefit from it.
