What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

What drew me to becoming a mental health provider was the complexity of experiences I saw in the communities I grew up in. I have been privileged in my experiences to be invited into the lives of children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma through a myriad of lenses that impacted the way they saw themselves, and the world around them. Healing can start when we thoughtfully examine the impact these experiences have had on ourselves, and feel empowered to work through them.
