My Background
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in finance — a career that left me with more questions than answers about purpose and meaning. That search eventually led me into struggles with substance use and my own mental health. It wasn't an easy chapter in my life, but it sparked a genuine curiosity in me: about myself, about human behavior, about why we do what we do.
The path to becoming who I am today was challenging and often uncomfortable, but I found meaning in the suffering. My life has shaped me into who I am, and I'm grateful for the chance to now work collaboratively with you.
