My Story: Journey to Becoming a Therapist
One of my family members struggled with mental health issues before getting help. It taught me a lot and inspired me to become a social worker.
I’ve learned that we all have hiccups in life, but like real hiccups, we can recover from them. Knowing this enables me to have compassion and empathy for others and provides fortitude that with work and guidance, life can get better.
I strive to become the best in myself and wish the same for others. Whatever contribution I make to improve others’ lives means everything to me. I love knowing that each person I help to become their best selves is another great addition to this world.
I’m passionate about working with women and men who want to work with a female therapist. I’m just passionate about seeing transformation in people’s lives.
