In my early 20’s, I myself struggled profoundly as I forged my path in life. This experience gave me unshakable empathy for young adult clients. Psychotherapy helped me find relief and a stronger sense of identity, including that of a therapist. Some other parts of my identity that connect with clients include: Millennial, second-generation, progressive, highly sensitive, artistic, analytic, dark-humored, dog-obsessed, and in recovery from oppressive systems like diet culture.
