What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I became a therapist on accident, following an intuitive nudge. It came at a time when I felt utterly lost and disillusioned by the outcome of choices I had made that once seemed to make sense for the life I thought I wanted. Ultimately, I learned how to be a therapist by facing my own fears, learning to use my voice, ask better questions of myself, and dismantle the perfectionistic voice in my head. I believe that a therapist can only take you as far as they're willing to go themselves, and I can promise you that I am committed to my own work not only in service of my growth, but in service of yours too.
