I view therapy as my passion, not just my practice. While I have worked hard to establish my professional career as a therapist, it is the clients who teach me the most about the therapy process! Clients have told me they appreciate my authenticity and relatability, and I often use humor and pop culture references when appropriate as I feel this helps diffuse difficult topics and often enhances the therapeutic relationship. I tailor my work with clients to each client’s specific needs.
