What was your path to becoming a mental health therapist?
When I started college, I had no idea what I wanted to study. I took a lot of different classes, but when I took Intro to Psychology, I was hooked. I had always been curious about human behavior, how we react to difficult situations, and why people made certain choices but I didn't realize I could make it a career. I also realized that I was the one all my friends came to to talk out their problems. I've always been a helper and drawn to those who are having a challenging time. It just seemed like a natural fit for me and I can truly say I love what I do. 

What should someone know about working with you?
I am very easy to talk to and strive to make others feel comfortable and safe in their session. I'm not judgmental so I hope others don't hesitate to share their struggles and challenges. There aren't too many things I haven't seen, heard, or experienced, so never be afraid to share.
