What is your favorite part of the therapeutic process?

“My favorite part is being able to walk with my clients through their journey and illuminate all of their growth. I love getting to really know clients deeply and understanding their inner and outer world and assisting them in gaining the confidence and skills to create and maintain the life they want!”

To me, "healing" and “success in therapy” means...

“Feeling like you know yourself more. Recognizing patterns in your life that serve you and patterns in your life that don't. Being kind to yourself and your experiences. Giving yourself and others grace and compassion. Advocating for your needs. Finding your safe people and holding them close. Feeling like even though life can be challenging, there are always moments of lightness and joy that can be found and treasured. Validating all of your experiences, even if others’ don’t.”

If I was not a therapist I would…

“I would move somewhere with plenty of land and open an animal sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals! Although, if I’m being honest, I already do a smaller-scale version of this! I’m always finding lost dogs, helping rescue animals, and saying yes whenever an animal needs a safe place or a helping hand.”
