I've been a teacher, adult literacy director, a case manager and now a therapist. I have two Masters one in Education and the other in Social Work. When I learned cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT, I knew that would be my specialty. I include practice work for clients to learn and use the CBT skills consistently.
I prefer a relaxed and open style of therapy. I have always attracted people who share personal situations shortly after meeting me because of the energy I carry. I've worked hard over my life, starting with therapy when I was 15 y/o and explored other modalities to teach me about myself. I lived in Kenya for three years teaching and training. Subsequently, all my jobs have been in service to those needing guidance, advice, support and loving connection.
I want my clients to leave feeling heard and understood; that they weren't judged about anything shared in session. This often helps people relax and trust more because they no longer feel "it's just me."
