Practicing Virtually
From a young age, I knew that I wanted to be a therapist. As an only child, I spent a lot of time around adults having grown-up conversations I was not able to participate in. I grew to be observant and a very good listener, because what else can you do if there’s nothing for you to contribute. It made me question why people acted the way they did. What motivated people to react in different ways? Why did people not notice patterns that were so obvious to me, even as a child? Eventually, I got older, and took an AP Psychology class in high school, and fell in love with the field. I knew I had a thirst for knowledge about human behavior and wanted to use what I would learn through my schooling to help others.
My own experience on the couch, as a client, awakened me to the power of having a safe space free of judgment and filled with compassion, where you are empowered to overcome your biggest fears. Sometimes you need someone to help you untangle the knots in your mind and heart. With their help, you are able to see things for what they are, clearly. You are then able to make thoughtful choices to craft the life you want. That’s the gift of therapy.
When I’m not in sessions you can often find me contributing to mental wellness or relationship articles, prepping for a podcast interview, putting together a presentation, and creating content for social media.
During my time off you can find me on my way to the airport, checking out new art galleries and museums, enjoying my happy place (the beach), having a nice meal with a loved one, practicing yoga, curled up with my weighted blanket reading a poetry book, or doing dog mom things with Soleil (my mini-Goldendoodle).
