Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I have a heart for people and want to see people living their best life.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
It is natural and normal to feel intimidated by the unknown. Therapy goes at a pace that is safe and comfortable for you.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I am very genuine, compassionate and authentic to myself and in the way that I practice. I accept people as they are and help them discover their true selves.
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
In my sessions expect to laugh, cry, cringe and exhale all in one session. We will explore a spectrum of emotions in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment.
How do you work with clients with ADHD?
I help clients learn adaptive skills to cope with their diagnosis and manage their symptoms at school and in the workplace.
How can you provide care remotely?
I make myself available during traditional and non-traditional work hours to accommodate the needs of my clients.
