About
I never planned on being a therapist. Growing up, my career aspirations were always influenced by the movies I loved. I basically decided to be a lawyer after seeing Legal Eagles as a kid. (Legal. Eagles, y'all.) I spent months during my senior year of college preparing for the LSAT exam to get into law school, took the test and realized that becoming a lawyer wasn’t actually what I wanted to do. (Shocking, I know.)
For the first of many times over my adult life, I trusted my gut and took a leap. I canceled my LSAT results and told my parents law school wasn’t for me after all. This time, I decided I didn’t want a movie to decide my next career move - I wanted movies to be my next career move. And so that’s what I pursued, working for several years in television and film development.
It was hard work, and I loved it for a long time. But over the years, I spent so long just trying to survive - just trying to not get fired - that I let other areas of my life go. When I finally reached a stage of my career where I could breathe, I realized that my work was no longer in line with who I was and what made me happy.
And so, once again, I trusted my gut, and I left, with no clear career path forward.
I’d always had an interest in therapy. Personally, going to therapy had been critical to my professional and personal success. But actually becoming a therapist - going back to school to earn a doctorate after so many years away - frankly didn’t seem all that fun. So instead, I spent the next two years trying to find anything besides therapy that I could do with my life.
But I kept coming back to it.
And so I did what I help my clients do today: I embraced my authentic self. I stopped holding on to what I thought I *should* do and I started living according to who I really was and what I really cared about.
Today, I am dedicated to helping my clients understand and heal from what is keeping them stuck, identify and nurture their personal values, and learn to live in alignment with those values. Whether you need help navigating career issues, relationship issues or wellness challenges, I believe that embracing who you really are is the key to a more balanced, fulfilling life and that we should never underestimate the power of self-discovery.
