My Why
As the child of a retired therapist, you could say I continued the family tradition by entering the field myself. I have always been deeply interested in learning about people and connecting with others. I value the opportunity to let others teach me who they are, and I believe that connection is a powerful force in the therapy room. I prioritize curiosity, joy, safety, and the therapeutic relationship above all else. No matter where you are on your journey, I am committed to standing by your side. I cannot wait to learn all about YOU!
