Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
I chose to practice at Thriveworks because of their company values and their ability to provide accessible services to clients.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
During the first session, we will review the intake forms, confidentiality, mandated reporting, insurance, billing, and symptom assessments, if applicable.
What's one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?
I am an avid learner. I cherish discovering new ideas and subjects no matter the discipline. My favorite part of traveling to a place I have never been before or meeting someone new is taking in differnet perspectives and listening to the stories they share.
