In my 33 years, I’ve lived through significant trauma and adversity that shaped my early life and made it difficult to find stability. Over time, with support and healing, I rebuilt my path and returned to school in my late 20s. Through my education and my own therapy journey, I found purpose in helping others. Now, as I work toward a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, I hope to use my experiences to support people as they move through their own challenges.
