Thank you for viewing my profile! I have been described as a warm and compassionate therapist who believes that it is important to balance the need for support and challenge you towards self-actualization and growth. In therapy, I like to approach people from a collaborative, non-judgmental, and caring place in order to facilitate change and a healthy, productive relationship with me. I believe that the connection you will have with your therapist is of utmost importance. Often, issues and problems that arise in our lives are overwhelming and a therapist can be very helpful in providing support and guiding you in a healthy direction for growth and a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. I focus on building insight and understanding, understanding the societal and familial effects on an individual, and finding more meaning and satisfaction in the individual's lives with whom I work. I believe that reframing our challenges and learning to think about them differently can be extremely helpful in progressing through life in a healthier and happier way. I truly feel honored to spend time with the people I work with and walk with them through different phases of their lives. Watching people grow, change, and develop a deeper connection to themselves and their loved ones has been a blessing and an honor for me as well. I believe that I am very fortunate to be able to work in a field that is so fulfilling and enjoyable. I look forward to hearing from you!
