Where did you work before going into private practice?
Before going into private practice I worked as a registered behavior technician supporting neurodivergent children and adolescents. During my experiences as a behavior technician, I was able to further develop personal traits such as being comforting, patient, and empathic. I am eager to use these qualities in order to create a safe space for my client to open up, feel heard, and work collaboratively with me to create meaningful changes in their lives.
What led you to become a mental healthcare practitioner?
I have always been moved to help others and have gone through struggles of my own. Through my own therapeutic journey, I have realized how important it is to have someone to whom you can open up completely in a judgment-free space. From my background in psychology and neuroscience, being a registered behavior technician, and especially my own experiences in counseling, I was moved to become a counselor. I truly believe being your authentic self is the way to create a strong connection with others, and I am looking forward to building this kind of connection with my clients.
