While I have always been interested in how the mind works, I originally went to college to be a Special Education Teacher. But after taking a psychology class and learning about the marvels of the mind, there was no looking back. I realized that I had found my life’s true calling.
I like to say that my clients helped guide me on which areas to specialize in. I always strove to meet my clients’ needs above all else. So as time went on, I became certified in multiple specialties in order to best fit the needs of all of my clients.
Having a diverse and eclectic approach makes me more adept at relating to a myriad of different people. This way, no matter what you’re dealing with, you can count on me to provide you with the skills to achieve a deeper understanding and cope with your symptoms. My passion for therapy stems from my love for helping people. There is nothing more rewarding than when I can help someone live a richer life by assisting them through the mental health struggles that held them back.
