My father is a psychiatrist, and I grew up in awe of his dedication and the positive impact he makes. I have always had a passion for psychology and mental health; but somewhere along the line, I heard that only crazy people or people with crazy families go into the field, and I definitely didn’t want people to think I was - or had - either! The funny part is, I now see my profession as having significantly less to do with identifying what is wrong with people and significantly more with helping people see what is right with them!
Lost, and completely unsure where I was headed, I graduated with a degree in English Language and Literature, then embarked on a career in sales and marketing. While this career path was financially lucrative and taught me to connect deeply with others, it was ultimately painfully unfulfilling, and I experienced a profound sense of purposelessness for many years.
This personal crisis led me to therapy, where I had an awakening. I felt safe and comfortable to finally meet - and truly be - myself. I began to release self-doubt and to focus my attention less on becoming the person I thought I was supposed to be and more on embracing the person that I already, truly am. In an instant, I realized not only that I am enough, but that everything I have ever wanted to do for others happened for me in a therapist’s office - and that this is my calling. Therapy - the art of supporting others on their journey towards healing, wholeness, and connection. The art of guiding people to tap into - and learn to trust - their own divine guidance and intuition. To help others live with intention, knowing that each and every one of us already is enough and already is worthy.
