Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
At an early age, I was exposed to a community of givers. I recall being seven years old when I recognized that my heart felt deeply during a volunteer opportunity I attended with my mother. Seeing a payphone located in a home that was being renovated for mothers and children in need of a safe place to stay made me realize that not everyone's home was safe. Although I could not define the way I felt at the time, this is when I recognized the empath in me. As I began to understand and witness struggle, I often wanted to extend a helping hand. Once I had the opportunity to move toward a career path, I knew I had to utilize my gift of helping others heal.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
During our initial session, I will take the time to hear your story and get to know the important components that will help us collaboratively develop the right treatment goals. I remind clients that our minds are like gardens; what we choose to nourish will grow and, what will grow, will lead to our actions and behaviors. I am here to help you plant seeds that will help you live the life you truly want for yourself. When experiencing hardship, the resilience, courage, and strength it takes to prioritize your needs can be challenging. I want to provide reassurance that you are not alone in getting there. I will assign exercises to implement into your everyday life and help you learn practical tools to implement outside of our sessions. I am currently offering virtual therapy sessions for individuals experiencing difficult life transitions, parents/new parents, couples, young adults, and working professionals who are struggling with issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.
