I became a therapist because I wanted to support adolescents and young adults on the tumultuous road to adulthood. My goal is to help them build skills and work through their core beliefs early, so they can create a life they genuinely want to live. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with anxiety. I also have a strong interest in supporting graduate-level interns who are working toward licensure in their master’s programs.
The strategy I rely on most is helping clients learn how to tolerate distress in the moment. You cannot always step out of a difficult situation right away, but getting through it gives you the space to later decide how you want to handle it or whether you want to avoid being in that situation again.
