Message to clients

I always thought my path to becoming a therapist stemmed from a passion for helping others, but as I look back, I realize that is not the only reason; my path has also been about a journey to discover myself, not just as a clinician but as a human. I’m no different from anyone who is sitting across from me (or my screen). The first half of my mental health journey was about denial and the second half — the current half — has been about discovery and empowerment. I use the word “journey” a lot because becoming our best and most healthy selves is a never-ending process of constantly unfolding, experiencing moments in life, and attaching meaning to them. There were significant individuals who were a part of my journey and I look forward to being a part of yours.

I aim to create a therapeutic space that is as human as possible; I’m a strong believer that growth and change are fostered through a deep and trusting connection between client and clinician (a human connection). Creating a safe and comfortable setting is my first goal. I believe being my authentic self (which can be very humorous, at times) will provide a supportive connection that will drive your therapeutic goals. I will challenge your thoughts, beliefs, values, and perspectives. I will help you learn how to “own your stuff” and guide you in unpacking your life journey
