Why I Treat Children
I have always been drawn to working with teens and adolescents. I believe that these years are integral to how a person learns to adapt and communicate with others in the world. As a clinician, it is my goal to be an empathetic listener, something I believe teenagers need more of. Adolescents and teens are passionate and offer fresh perspective. I work with this population because there is always something new happening, and no day is the same as the last. I strive to be the person that teens need when they feel hopeless, to re-energize and reignite their flames, someone that they can remember as the person that helped them through their darkest times.
What I'm Passionate About
I am passionate about helping and uplifting others through my work as a therapist. I work under the assumption that everyone is trying their best, and I understand that can look different day to day. I am passionate about being a part of a team that makes a difference in our community.
