“I am deeply inspired by the depth of human experience. Each struggle and triumph in anyone’s story is a testament to their individual and unique courage to navigate the world around them. I think life is complicated and finding happiness and strength can sometimes be difficult, but I believe that a sense of empowerment can go a long way in facing life’s challenges. I have been drawn to counseling work to facilitate healing and growth in people that are struggling. I believe that everyone has the capacity to reach their fullest potential and that the collaborative, therapeutic relationship has the power to aid people in that process of discovery. Empathy and understanding are too often undervalued and overlooked, though counseling provides a unique space for these things to be cultivated and felt through completely non-judgmental, introspective healing. I believe counseling work can be essential to creating wellness, peace, empowerment and self-acceptance for many people.”
