• Who is your ideal client?

  Clients that are open to making a connection with me so that we can work together in finding what helps them feel better/grow.

• Why do you like being a therapist?

  Being able to witness the growth process of clients.

• What's something you wish people knew about therapy?

  There's not a "one size fits all" approach for people to make changes.

• Why can people benefit from therapy?

  It can help by getting perspectives different from ourselves to look at our situation differently. Or sometimes having a person outside of our lives offer validation can be very empowering and lower difficult emotions like shame.

• What does "success" in therapy look like to you?

  "Success" to me is about progress, no matter how small the growth or changes are.

• What's something you'd like clients to know about you (or how you work)?

  I am passionate about helping people find ways to increase their resilience. Therapy isn't all about focusing on what's wrong, but on ways to increase strengths.
