Why I do this work
I have been a helper my whole life. From an early age I faced a number of challenges that allowed me to develop great compassion and care for others. I ultimately became interested in learning to support others in order for them to lead happier and healthier lives. Professionally, I have been drawn towards populations that are traditionally underserved and in need of great assistance. I’m interested in posttraumatic growth and seeing people work through difficulties and come out the other end stronger and having more compassion for themselves. I utilize a humanistic approach having unconditional positive regard in a non judgemental environment.
The best part of my job
The best part of my job is having the privilege to be welcomed into people’s most intimate thoughts and feelings in order to work through trauma. While this work can be challenging it is extremely rewarding to see people heal from past wounds and discover a deeper sense of self.
How I spend my free time
I enjoy DIY projects, hiking or camping with my partner and dogs, trying new recipes and traveling.
