About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I’m endlessly fascinated by the human experience and how we manage our struggles. Since I’m a great listener and deeply empathetic, the concept of channeling these qualities into a job that aids individuals in healing and growing truly appealed to me. I believe that everyone is capable of becoming more resilient and adjusting, and I desired a profession that would enable me to journey with individuals as they come to the same understanding. My ongoing motivation stems from seeing the incredible change that my clients are able to take. It was a fantastic and humbling experience watching someone who used to be so afraid overcome it and take back their lives or assisting a couple who was about to split rediscover their relationship.
