// Personally

My husband and I met when we were in high school and have been together for 15 years. We enjoy traveling, have visited France, and are hoping to plan a trip to Scotland in the near future.

I enjoy reading, role playing video games, escape rooms, board games, and spending time with friends and family. A common theme among my hobbies is a love of fantasy, from fantasy genre books to RPGs like Skyrim and Elden Ring, escape rooms like Sleepy Hollow, and strategy board games like Gloomhaven. I guess you could say I like exercising my brain even in my down time.

// Why Therapy?

I struggled personally.

 

When I was eleven, I was bullied by my peers and this experience had a profound impact on me. It changed the way I saw myself, other people, and the world. It hurt my feelings of self-worth and caused me to experience depression for the first time.

No one should feel alone.

 

It was then I decided that I wanted to be a therapist, because I felt so alone in that experience. I didn’t want other people to feel that sensation being alone in the face of intensely painful experiences.

Therapy is more than a job.

 

At that time in my life, I wished I had had someone I could talk to who understood, empathized, and could help and that’s the service I aim to provide for all of my clients.

 

This career path is not just a job to me – I genuinely care about improving the mental health and lives of my clients.
