My journey into mental health care began with a pivotal moment early in my life—a summer working as a music teacher at camp. One of my young campers climbed onto a roof, threatening to jump, and I was there to talk him down. That moment changed everything for me. I realized that helping people through their struggles was more important to me than teaching music. From that day forward, I committed to understanding how to help people cope with life’s challenges and create lasting change. Over...

I approach therapy as an open, safe, and comfortable place for clients. I immediately work on creating a good client-therapist bond.
