My Passion
“I discovered my passion after a serious accident in 2015 that led me into a deep depression I never thought I could overcome. Through proper treatment and intervention, I found healing and regained a sense of self. Therapy helped me rebuild my confidence, rediscover purpose, and see life from a new perspective.
That experience inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others. I believe mental health counseling gives people the tools to take back control of their lives and create lasting change. My biggest dream is to walk alongside others on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth.”
