Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I have a strong desire to help individuals across all stages of life navigate their challenges and find clarity and resilience in their lives.

My passion lies in helping individuals across all ages and stages of life, but I am particularly dedicated to working with young adults and adolescents. My focus is on assisting those who are navigating decision-making, life transitions, and specific stressors or phobias.

I also have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with chronic illness and health anxiety. My approach to therapy is a collaborative partnership. I work primarily with adults and adolescents through various life changes and transitions, such as relationships, social issues, academic stress, and significant life events like new jobs or relocations. Additionally, I have worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD, providing significant support to those recently diagnosed with chronic illnesses or experiencing health anxiety. Each session, I aim to create a space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we will explore practical solutions to help you feel more in control of your situation and build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and think more clearly.
