Listening to others' stories and supporting them in finding positive paths through challenges has always felt like a natural calling. Even as a child, friends would often reach out, and my mom would joke, "Is the doctor in?" Later on, this passion led to volunteering with kids in creative programs and working in hospice care, where deeper connections were formed. These experiences led to a rewarding role at an outpatient community clinic, where people from all walks of life could share their unique journeys and struggles. My work with clients have included helping those navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. The ideal clients are those who are open to exploring interventions and truly wish to understand themselves more deeply. Therapy is not about achieving perfection but rather finding new perspectives on who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Healing and personal growth rarely follow a straight path, and it's the patience and willingness to try that often make the difference in finding the right way forward.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, I will be getting to know the client by learning more about their background and the main issue they would like to work on in therapy. Once we have made introductions and touched on some of these subjects, I will give a general plan that will be tailored to them.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is my deep interest in helping others discover their own hidden potential and giving them the tools to nourish that part of themselves. I provide tangible exercises and therapy homework that allows clients to put many of these therapeutic concepts into regular practice.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with adults who are focusing on changing negative habits, working through new changes in their lives, and want to develop healthier ways of managing their emotions. I also like working with those who want to build their self-esteem and confidence. My current schedule is very friendly to those who may be working from home during the day or who are stay at home parents, as there are many morning and afternoon times available.
