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

I always knew that I wanted to work with and help people. Therapy fell into my lap. I had some experiences that continued to make this feeling stronger. I have continued to do therapy because I have seen how much it is helped my clients. It is very rewarding and I am so fulfilled when doing therapy.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

There are a lot of people that are hesitant to try therapy. One thing that I would tell them is that it is okay to ask for help. We all need help some time and we are here to help. I would also encourage them to speak with others that have gone to therapy.

How do you work with clients with addiction?

I am a firm believer in the harm reduction model of addiction. This is helpful in thinking about and working through the stages of change. Working through a harm reduction model, helps people reduce their harm but not have to feel like they have to quit cold turkey. Slowly making changes until they get to a point that they are comfortable with.
