Why I Became a Therapist
I became a therapist because of my curiosity about people, love for storytelling, and ability to connect with others through warmth and empathy. Coming from generations of helpers and healers, I’ve always felt drawn to supporting others.
Background in Literature: With a bachelor’s in English and a minor in education, I first explored human behavior through literature, learning how stories reflect and teach us about ourselves. As a published poet and writer, I’m captivated by the stories we live and tell.
Lived Neurodivergent Experience: Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I bring personal and professional insight into the neurodivergent experience, offering a unique perspective for those navigating similar challenges.
Extensive Knowledge of Emotional Abuse: I am highly knowledgeable about emotional abuse and the recovery process, offering compassionate, specialized support to help clients heal and rebuild their sense of self.
Social Work Foundation: Before becoming a clinician, I spent seven years in social work and child welfare, guiding others through life’s tougher moments.
Now, with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a wealth of lived experience, I’m here to help you navigate your current chapter and create one you’ll feel proud to write.
“But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own.”
