Today I wanted to post a personal story to help others know a little more about me. I love working with any population but I have a special place in my heart for working with adolescents. When I was an adolescent I saw a therapist who helped inspire me to pursue this career. I wanted to help others just like she did for me. Today I'm working in a career I love and my hope is to help clients to be empowered in their lives. I want to help clients be inspired to make changes to improve their lives. It is never a bad thing to seek help. Going to a therapist I believe shows strength because it takes courage to be vulnerable and share your life story with someone. Hope everyone has a great Monday!
