Why Did I Choose to Be a Therapist?

The work of a therapist is important to me because I believe that everyone needs someone, and many people do not have access to the support they need. As a therapist it is my goal to be that support. I enjoy being able to provide a safe and supportive space to be exactly who they are and express their feelings with no judgement. Having experienced being a client, I understand the power of therapy and believe in it wholeheartedly. I have a passion of people, and feel that it is importance to treat everyone fairly.

I chose to be a therapist because I realize the importance of supporting others to do “the hard things” that will help them to enhance their lives.The best part of being a therapist is the part where clients realize that the have clarity and coping with things may come just a little easier.

What Do I Do?

I work with couples and families with various concerns and conflict. In addition I work with teens and individual adults.
