What I love most about this work is understanding the larger story of how someone came to be who they are.

​

I’m naturally curious about the greater puzzle — how early experiences, relationships, and learned ways of coping shape the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that show up later in life. Many patterns that feel confusing or frustrating begin to make sense when we understand where they originated and what purpose they once served.

​

Cognitive behavioral therapy resonates with me because it allows for both depth and clarity. I value taking time to understand meaning while also helping people become more aware of how these patterns continue to operate in the present.

​

I see CBT not as a set of techniques, but as a way of increasing insight, flexibility, and choice. When people understand themselves more fully, change feels less forced and more grounded in who they are now.
