What was one of the most challenging experiences during your training to become a therapist? How did you overcome the challenge, and what did you learn from it?
In supervision, it was a challenge to keep in check my feelings in order to analyze and explore severe cases in a very objective manner. I gained the ability to explore further with individuals who were difficult, resistant, and complex. Due to a structured and challenging supervision experience, it helped me overcome barriers to better address and treat client’s with low to high acuity mental illness.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Initially working with teens for an undergraduate internship, which strongly inspired me to help other’s in need with compassion and understanding. Since then, I’ve gained a vast experience working with clients, mostly adults struggling with mental health, addiction, family issues, trauma, forensic involved, and from all walks of life.
What does a typical session with you look like?
Warm and organic, in a safe and therapeutic environment where the client is able to learn, evolve, and heal at their own pace.
How have your personal experiences helped your work with your clients?
Learning from my personal mistakes, turning failures into success. No matter how many times we fall getting up is the only option. This has helped me to engage, build trust, and instill hope and optimism to my clients to evolve and heal.

Short Term (Solution-focused, etc.)
Ideal for those who are coming in with a specific problem they’d like to address and gain clarity on. Typically, short term therapies are present focused and do not dive deep into your past.
Structured
Structured therapies are goal and progress oriented. Therapists may incorporate psychoeducation and a specific “curriculum.” In order to stay on track, therapists may provide worksheets and homework.
Insight-oriented (Psychodynamic, Existential, etc.)
Exploring the past and making connections to present issues can help clients gain insight. Getting to the root of the issue and finding deeper self-awareness can help with long-term change.
Non-directive (Humanistic, Person-centered, etc.)
Going with the flow and seeing where it leads.
Behavioral (CBT, DBT, etc.)
Focuses on changing potentially unhealthy or self-destructive behaviors by addressing problematic thought patterns and specific providing coping skills.
Trauma Focused (EMDR, TF-CBT, etc.)
Recognizing the connection between trauma experiences and your emotional and behavioral responses, trauma focused therapy seeks to help you heal from traumas.
