  • Since I was a child, I have been drawn to the uniqueness of individuals, their strengths, their struggles, and their stories. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, which threatened my ability to achieve my goals. Not long after my diagnosis, a member of my family was murdered. These two events during my adolescence have shaped who I have become. At the time, my parents found a therapist for me. The first therapist I saw was not the right fit for me and I did not feel understood. The second therapist was the perfect fit for me! She listened to my story and my struggles without judgment and supported me throughout my journey. I feel very fortunate to have found the right therapist for me and I will always be grateful to my parents for their decision to find me additional support. Near the end of my undergraduate degree I realized that I wanted to become a psychotherapist. I wanted to support others the way that I had felt supported by my own therapist. ​​
