From a young age, I’ve been fueled by curiosity and a deep desire to help others. I’ve always been the one asking questions, pondering the hows and whys, much to the occasional annoyance of my parents. While my inquisitiveness and helpful nature served me well in school and sports, the path to shaping my future was a puzzle.
All I knew was that I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. Fortunately, I was surrounded by remarkable individuals who had benefitted from mental health professionals. Their stories resonated with me, igniting a spark of realization.
I delved into research, absorbing all the knowledge available to a high schooler. Excitedly, I shared my newfound insights with my parents, who even arranged a meeting with a working psychologist for my senior project. During our conversation, I expressed my passion for helping people and my belief that understanding the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ could be the key.
As I spoke with the psychologist, she gently suggested that a career as a therapist might be my calling. After more soul-searching questions, I embraced the idea, setting me on the path that led me to where I am today.
And so, my journey into the world of therapy began, fueled by curiosity, compassion, and the incredible support of my family and mentors. I am eternally grateful for their guidance and encouragement, and I can’t wait to continue making a positive impact on the lives of those I’m privileged to help.
