Everyone needs support at times. My own journey seeking mental health services as a teenager and young adult profoundly influenced my decision to become a therapist. I faced challenges in finding providers who were not only accessible but also genuinely understood and respected my identities, experiences, and values. This inspired me to pursue a career where I could assist others in navigating the mental health system in ways that are both affirming and empowering. My mission is to challenge and transform the system to make it more inclusive and accessible, particularly for those who may feel marginalized or overlooked.
