My Journey Becoming a Therapist
I have always been a dreamer with big dreams and creative possibilities.
As a child, my imagination was larger than my reality. I found great fun in the world of reading and ideas.
During my college years I discovered that my life could be realigned with the new dreams and goals that began to
matter to me. I learned that I could shift out of passivity and become an active participant in my own life.
I dove into this rich and exciting field headfirst. I found my sweet spot and never looked back
Thus began my own journey to find hope where I had no hope, to find healing for my hurts,
to embrace the risks for freedom, and to live ignited with love, joy, and purpose. ,
I find a great joy in coming alongside others to assist them in their own journeys of healing and growth.
