Judgement-Free Therapy
Move Forward - Away From Pain
- Why did you become a therapist?
The human desire to strengthen connections to other individuals and the desire to want better is what I enjoy working with. Whomever reaches out for my services it is a great opportunity to help establish missing voids in an individual and to help them through their uncomfortable times.
- Were there mental health issues in your family?
Family mental health issues I learned to grow up with being first generation born here, was having a grandmother diagnosed with Schizophrenia that was also treated with electroshock therapy. I had experiences with bullying, negative self -image, anger and anxiety while growing up that I learned through therapy and studying Psychology the various ways the mind can help attack but also heal. I wanted to continue to help share my understanding and compassion for those who are lacking it for themselves.
- What are some of your goals in therapy?
My first goal is to create a judgment free zone to better focus on how to help you move forward not with the pain but move away from the pain. Life is best lived daily, and I want to make sure that you are living daily because how you feel in your day to day should matter.
