Working as a therapist has been my life’s goal and mission. I was drawn to the field because family and friends would often come to me for help and advice, and I seemed to have a natural ability to help others. Not only did I find that others were helped by my assistance, but I found joy and purpose in what I was doing. My love for communication and connection with others has helped shape my practice as a therapist and has helped me form strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. I have worked in psychiatric inpatient, partial hospitalization programs, outpatient settings, school-based programs, and medical hospitals during my career. Working in these diverse environments gave me the opportunity to experience multicultural clientele and a multitude of psychosocial issues, providing lessons that helped to mold me into the therapist I am today. I have been trained in behavioral analysis and cognitive behavioral therapy, which I continue to use as modalities in treatment.
