I have been fortunate enough to understand and love myself all my life. Knowing that there are people that do not have this same clarity, naturally made me want to assist them. Becoming a therapist seemed like the best way for me to help.

The clients that are ready to make a change, even if they are not sure what exactly needs to change but being willing to reflect and want to be a better version of themself.

I love the variety of clients that I see from their ages to their presenting concerns, however my teenagers hold a special place.

I wish clients all knew that therapy is a process. Even if you are making steps forward they may not feel like a lot of progress but it is and it cannot be rushed.

Thriveworks has therapists and other employees that genuinely care about people and do not only view therapy as a business.

Knowing that by just listening and being the caring person that I have always been, I could help another person who is struggling.

During our first session we have to get the business part done, all the background and history, but after that we will have a conversation about you. Questions like, what are your interests, what do you do for self-care, do you hate your job?

When you leave our first session, I want you to feel like you found a safe person. Know that there is no judgement in the room and that my purpose during our time together is to assist you in making the changes you need to feel better.

I do not get uncomfortable from you sharing your story or whatever you need to discuss. Our time together is focused on you and whatever you need that will benefit you.

I am not a talkative person when not with clients, so when I have free time I like to relax by reading, watching a show, or going to the movie theater. I am currently locked into Asian dramas and it is all I watch.

I love to laugh and can typically find some humor in most situations, which is also a coping mechanism.
