What is the specialty that you offer?
I specialize in working with professionals and entrepreneurs who are dealing with unsatisfying relationships, depression, anxiety, relational trauma or feeling unfulfilled in life.
What is your “why” for being a psychotherapist?
We all deserve to be free – to live a life of meaning and fulfillment; one that is aligned with our authentic selves. Life presents challenges that make this difficult. My life’s work is to assist others in working through painful experiences and overcoming life’s challenges. I empower others to co-create the life that they truly want – a life in which they are free.
Who is your ideal client?
I love working with women and others who hold marginalized identities. My ideal client would want more satisfying relationships and relief from psychological concerns like depression and anxiety. They also would have a wish to better understand themselves and be motivated to change their lives.
What makes you different from other psychotherapist?
I bring my heart and soul to this work. Drawn to the field of Psychology after addressing my own pain through therapy, I know firsthand what it’s like to begin counseling with a new therapist and navigate the therapy journey. My personal experience allows me to relate to your humanity and be fully present with you on your therapy journey.
What do you do for fun outside of being a psychotherapist?
I love traveling and experiencing carnivals around the world.
What is your big scary dream?
I’d love to be a digital nomad! To travel the world and do therapy from any country!
What advice do you have for those on their entrepreneur journey?
Stay connected to yourself. Your entrepreneur journey will reflect your personhood, values, and, yes, your psychological concerns! Keep working on yourself and thriving in your life. Your business will flourish as you do.
What is one thing you love about SOWBO and/or being a member of our community?
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
—-African Proverb
This is one of my life mantras and the reason I love being in SOWBO. Having a community of women on the same journey who provide mutual support and help each other realize our dreams is priceless. Community is everything as a business owner. If you’re a woman business owner, join SOWBO, you won’t regret it.
