I used to think I fell into being a therapist. The further I get into this journey, I realize I didn’t fall into this career, rather I found myself and allowed my values to lead me to the right place. As a former collegiate athlete I struggled navigating retirement and started looking into the field of sport psychology. Navigating that grief led me to a dual program in mental health and mental performance. As I continued through graduate school I realized the passion I have for counseling and walking with my clients through the difficulties of life. Witnessing a person’s story and being a partner in building a better life is a privilege that I have everyday as a therapist.
