Why did you decide to become a therapist?

I decided to become a therapist because I know what it feels like to struggle, to question where you belong, and to search for someone who truly understands. Growing up, I often felt different and found myself trying to understand not only my own emotions, but also the emotions of those around me. That curiosity, combined with a deep sense of empathy, inspired me to pursue this path. My goal is to create the kind of space I once needed—one where people feel accepted, understood, and never alone. I believe healing isn't about being "fixed," but about learning to understand ourselves with compassion and recognizing that growth is a lifelong journey.

What do you hope clients feel when they leave a session with you?

I hope they leave feeling heard, understood, and a little lighter than when they came in. Even if we don't have all the answers, I want them to leave knowing they don't have to face things alone and feeling hopeful about the next step.
