People often want to know what got me into this line of work, and the answer is simple. Everyone has either experienced anxiety and depression themselves or they know a friend or loved one who struggles with these overwhelming emotions. Taking that one step further you also know someone who has taken their life to death by suicide. My mission is to destigmatize mental health and make affordable options so that we can eliminate the overwhelming statistics of individual suffering in silence due to mental health difficulties. 

I often share that my favorite quote is "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" by Babe Ruth. This is a mentality that I like to use in session to help my clients. I believe that I help teach  my clients the ability to recognize their strengths (what are you doing right) and use those to leverage where they want to improve in their lives.   

I believe it is important to give your insight into my life and background in an effort to push forward that I am a real person who has sat in your seat as I have developed the skills needed to overcome many hardships. I always tell people that even good therapist has a good therapist and that is another way of me showing you that I am too am human. We all need someone to support us in our mental health journey. When ending the stigma that surrounds mental health....it starts with me! I know what it feells like to take that leap of faith, make a huge investment in your mental wellness, be vulnerable, and do the hard work of making real change in my life and for that reason I know that it works!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it (:
