Experiencing the transformative power of therapy firsthand sparked a deep-seated conviction within me that this was the path I wanted to pursue professionally. Guiding others towards healing and growth became my passion, and it felt like a natural calling for me.

Listening empathetically and fostering a safe space for people to share their experiences came intuitively to me, and I found that individuals around me often felt at ease confiding in me. Choosing to embark on a career in therapy was not only logical but also deeply fulfilling, aligning perfectly with my innate desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
