My passion for becoming a therapist stems from both my personal and professional experiences. These experiences have instilled in me a genuine love for everyone irrespective of their cultural or ethnic background. They have shaped my personality professional identity and practice. While it can sometimes be mentally and emotionally taxing I relish every aspect of it. Being entrusted with my clients’ deepest secrets and overwhelming experiences is an honor that I cherish. The intimate human connection that comes with my work is invaluable and I strive to be authentic and present for every client. Listening actively and offering empathy and validation are integral to my practice. Holding and supporting another human being through their struggles transformation and healing is the greatest reward I can ever experience. Witnessing a person’s face light up with hope and seeing their wounds transform into strengths and meaning for the future is what I find most rewarding as a therapist.
