About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I was an adopted child and raised by an alcoholic parent. It was difficult to understand how to communicate in my household growing up. Understanding and learning about attachment and communication in school and my own therapy motivated me to become a therapist.
About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
The idea of attending therapy seems scary at first and I have found most people fear being judged. It's important to ask your potential therapist questions around your fears. You will know if that therapist is the right fit for you.
About Me
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
Clients who work with me should expect a caring environment for them to explore how they feel and room to grow and change. Therapy can be difficult as well. I will ask permission to ask something difficult of you; you have the option to decline.
About Me
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
After an initial intake session, I ask clients to bring at least 2 topics for each session to discuss within their original goals. This helps to keep the focus on what the client wishes to achieve.
