I am lucky to love what I do and feel so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your life.

While applying for my first internship, the interviewer broached the topic of love's role in therapy. I responded unequivocally: If I cannot love you as my client, then I have no place being your therapist. For me, genuine care transcends boundaries. This belief fuels my resilience; I never experience burnout because each client matters deeply to me. Your life, relationships, struggles, and triumphs—all hold significance in my eyes. No detail is too mundane, no secret too daunting.

Take the first step towards a more fulfilling life.
