His Inspiration:
Throughout my adolescence and early adulthood, I witnessed the obstacles my friends and family faced when seeking support for their anxiety. I experienced firsthand the adverse impact that had on their personal, social, and academic lives. For these reasons, I chose a profession that provides support to people on their therapeutic journeys. I plan to use my abilities to work collaboratively with clients ensuring they feel capable of meeting their goals and aspirations.
