Favorite part of being a therapist?

Watching people thrive in the safety of the space we create together. I also love being trusted 🙂 

If someone asked you to describe what “therapy” is… what would you say?

Therapy is a safe space to explore yourself with the help of a trusted guide who is holding a loving mirror.  

What is the biggest difference between the version of you that you know now and the version of you that existed 10 years ago? 

I know myself more. I love myself more. This is mostly due to self-exploration, self-acceptance, and self-connection. Which is exactly the goal in therapy with my clients every day!

Most unexpected part of being a therapist?

How often I need to convince others that I’m not “therapizing” them. Also, when I’m not working I crave surface-level conversations. Like, I live in the land of surface, shallow convos! 

Would you rather never be able to hear music again or go on any vacations? 

I can’t live in either of those worlds.
