I have always enjoyed helping people. From a young age, I enjoyed listening to the concerns of others. Eventually, I realized how impactful a listening ear can be. People seem to struggle when they become stuck, and I enjoy helping them move forward again.

I've had several clients who have presented with some form of OCD, and I realized at the time that I had no training in how to assist them. As.a therapist, knowing more ways to help others is always exciting, and I view learning about OCD will allow me to help others even more.

Substance abuse, general mental health (anxiety, depression), religion, and philosophical concerns. I grew up in a religious environment in which family members abused substances. I also lost a cousin to a drunk driver when I was young. I wanted to learn how to help others like my family members or the driver.

Therapists are here to help you work through your issues, but they can't do it for you. Be prepared to work while knowing someone is here for you throughout the process.

As your therapist, I will do everything possible to create an environment in which you feel safe sharing your thoughts. If you feel like you're not ready to do that, I encourage you to share what you can. Trust is earned and takes time.
