Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became interested in being a therapist after my first psychology class in high school. I was a handful as a teen and wanted to help other teens who may have been feeling the way I did during that time. I eventually learned also became interested in treating addictions and this was where the first 5 years of my career was focused. I continue to have a passion for assisting others to realize they can absolutely live the life they imagined for themselves despite any past struggles they have experienced or any fears they may have about the future.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I want my clients to know that I am on their team, period. I want to see them succeed, meet their goals, and gain that inner peace. I also want them to know that I will always be honest and upfront with them in the most respectful way possible.
