Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
Best part of my work is: the moment when a patient truly feels heard. Many times children aren't given the time or voice that they deserve, and when a young person is given a space to feel a sense of control and make decisions, it's very powerful.
Why I became a provider: I became a mental health provider because of the change that I wish to see in the world. I see a natural kindness and innocence in youth. I hope to be a driving force that provides tools to allow young people to feel empowered both in their own lives and in the greater community.
Practice philosophy: My patient is the expert of his/her own unique experience. No one else can tell a person what he/she is feeling. It is my job to put on the lenses that the patient is looking through, and try to understand this experience, and provide him/her the tools to change the "prescription" as needed.
