I am focused on the therapeutic alliance. I was undecided in college; I had no idea what I wanted to do. I took a lower-division psychology course. I was very interested in the power of the human brain. I am driven by my obstacles in life and the power of overcoming. I believe we all have this power; I just want to help my clients tap into it.
