Therapy is a deeply rewarding experience. It is also a deeply personal and often challenging journey that involves being vulnerable. While challenging at times, the potential rewards from engaging in therapy make the choice to engage worthwhile. As I continue to grow in this helping profession, I have come to specialize in working with people around trauma, identity development, anxiety, boundaries, mindfulness, and negative thinking. I am also passionate about helping individuals build self-esteem and identify unhealthy behaviors/patterns. If anything on my profile resonates with you, I invite you to check out my webpage for more!
As a therapist with a Master's in Sociology, I possess an understanding of human behavior, social structures, relational dynamics, and the impact of society on individuals' mental health and well-being. This degree, paired with my MSW, allows me the ability to provide therapeutic support, while being attuned to the social context that shapes everyday life.
I am incredibly passionate about being a therapist and strive to help others know the true joy and empowerment that can come from engaging in therapy! Remember that therapy is about you. You deserve to feel seen, understood, and receive non-judgmental therapeutic care. What feels safe and supportive to you in the process of finding a therapist is paramount.
