About
Throughout my time in this field, I have been deeply moved while sitting across from the people that I work with. There is nothing that separates me from the person sitting across from me. I see another human being who wants to be understood, feel connected, and who is worthy of it all. I’m drawn to the part of this work that brings two people together to share in moments of creativity, which makes both feel more alive and authentic. Some of the clients that I have treated have struggled to see the value in themselves due to the harsh realities of their lives. The most fulfilling aspect of this work is the honor of being a part of a process that empowers individuals and helps them discover the strengths and points of resiliency that sometimes can be difficult to uncover.
