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

I was always the friend that everyone confided in or asked for help from. When I decided to go to graduate school, I figured being a therapist was a good fit. The first day of classes and my professor was going into more detail about what a counselor is, it hit me "This is exactly what I want to be doing for the rest of my life". Why do I keep doing it? I love the work. I love being there with a client who finally makes the connection needed to change and seeing them grow during our time together.

Hi! I have been practicing for a little over 6 years and strive to create a therapy environment that works for you.

I became a therapist to help individuals navigate their mental health struggles and achieve lasting wellness. I am motivated by the positive impact I see in my clients’ lives when they make progress. Their resilience and transformation inspire me to continue providing compassionate care.

Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.
