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

I became a therapist to let others know there are supportive people in the world. I enjoy helping clients regain their strength, and confidence, and begin living a peaceful life. I truly do believe people grow when they feel understood, valued, and heard.

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

I wish those who are hesitant to therapy would know this is a space for you to invest in yourself. Part of the work is processing where beliefs (about therapy and other things) come from and how they can impact various areas of life. Therapists are here to assist you in tailoring goal setting and personalizing ways to reach those goals. I believe something is pushing you to look for therapy...who could you become without your hesitance?

What do therapy sessions with you look like?

Our first session together will start with gathering background information, learning about the specific challenges that brought you in, and creating the goals you want to work on. In our continued work together, I will assist you in developing the necessary skills to overcome your challenges, explore how these challenges shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and assist you in finding ways to take action toward a more peaceful life. Even if you don’t believe things can get better as you’re reading this, let’s get you your strength back!
