Through my own mental health journey, I experienced firsthand how transformative therapy can be and how having a supportive, nonjudgmental space helped me understand myself better, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel less alone in difficult moments. Throughout my life, I also watched people I care about navigate their own mental health challenges, and I knew I wanted to be someone who is there to help people through difficult times in their lives. Beyond these personal experiences, I’ve always had a genuine interest in psychology and in understanding how and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine that curiosity with my passion for helping others make sense of their lives, find meaning in their experiences, and move toward greater well-being.
