Personally
Why therapist?
I became a therapist because of my own trauma healing. I am a sexual violence survivor. In an environment full of mental health stigma, I was ashamed and confused, feeling it was my fault for a long time.
I sought to improve my life and the lives of other women in similar circumstances by pursuing a mental-health degree in America—to serve as an advocate for young women and marginalized communities. I understand how harmful it can be, as a woman, to not have a voice. In becoming a mental health therapist, I realized I was suffering from trauma. I decided that any client that I work with will feel safe so that they can have a different experience.
During my free time
When I am not working, you will find me in nature, creating youtube videos about mental health, doing yoga, and training my dog - McNugget to do therapy (still a long way to go haha). In my own trauma work, I found the body and mind connection is extremely important to my healing.
