My passion for counseling comes from my own lived experience with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I have had good and bad counselors throughout my life and understand that therapy can be an intimidating space. I try to help my clients be comfortable by incorporating their own interests in therapy; I want to hear about the good stuff in their lives too!
I am also an animal person and often encourage clients to include their pets in the therapy space to allow them comfort and familiarity. I believe that telehealth gives a unique opportunity to incorporate fun components of a client's life that I try to make the most of in session.
When I am not working, I like to read (mainly fantasy novels), write, and spend time with my pets. I am originally from the South, but spent many years in Boston attending college. I know what it is like to move across the country!
