I became a psychiatric provider as I enjoy the helping field. I believe it is important to extend a hand towards those in need that may not otherwise have one offered to them.

I work best with clients who are motivated for services, who are experiencing stressors due to life events, and are seeking guidance.

I am most excited to work with those who are experiencing uncontrollable mood symptoms and are lacking coping skills for daily functioning.

I wish all clients knew that talk therapy is not only a mental health service but is an outlet to process emotions and feelings in a confidential setting.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because I enjoy providing therapeutic services and believe Thriveworks offers beneficial services to the populations served.

I am inspired by other's stories as they touch on what defines them. I am also inspired by a person's motivation to change and how I can assist with that.

Clients can expect me to establish a healthy rapport, build trust up front, and offer an open space to be vulnerable enough to share about themselves in the first session.

I would like to build their trust by informing them on what to expect, how I can assist, and emphasizing their self-determination in their process.

Clients should know that if they do not feel they are a good fit, they will be offered referrals to assist in their search process.

I like to hike, spend time with family, attend college football games, and travel.

One thing that defines me is that I am a diversified person in my friendships.

A time I had success with a client was when I worked with a male patient who was struggling with his anger. Upon realization that his anger stemmed from a loss of sense of self, he was able to work through his heightened emotions using healthy coping mechanisms and emotion disregulation skills for improvement.
