I’ve always wondered why people are the way they are. I truly enjoy getting to know people on a deep, authentic, and meaningful level. My favorite part of my job is the experience of being with another person and witnessing them as they are, as we work to understand something about them, together.

I learn something new with every patient I see. The story you share with me is not something I take lightly, and being trusted with stories is a privilege. It takes time for people to feel comfortable enough to share themselves in this way, and that hesitancy is not separate from the work we’re doing, that is the work we’re doing.

I hope to provide a space in which people are able to show up authentically, little by little, and then take that freedom into their relationships with others. Being truly seen and accepted changes something.

It changes everything.
