What can you expect from me as a therapist?
I’m a down to earth, flexible and relatable therapist who is not only educated but also has life experiences in which makes me understand a wide range of everyday people issues and concerns.
If you weren't a therapist, what profession would you choose?
I've always seen myself helping people. When I was young I wanted to be a detective or a judge. My undergrad is in Criminal Justice and I wanted to work in probation or parole as an adult however once I graduated, it was hard to get into that field so I decided to start Social Work. If I'm going on my interests now, I wouldn't work full time, owning a wine vineyard sounds nice :) and still being of help to my community on a part time basis.
Fun Fact
Of course I’m apart of the BeyHive!
