Language is important. How we say things matters.
What inspired you to become a therapist?
I have always been interested in how people interact. I recognized at a young age how people's experiences and families have a great impact on who they are and how they live their lives. I am honored to be there to support people in understanding and choosing how they want to be and live.

Community is about support and feeling a sense of belonging. My office often become part of my client's community. My office is the space where people can feel like they are supported and belong.
