My true calling emerged as a result of my recovery from mental health issues and personal growth. I am fascinated by the interaction between the brain, the mind, and the body. What motivates people the way they do? How does this behavior manifest later become problematic? With this curiosity, I am returning to school to become a psychotherapist later in life. I hope to plant seeds in people's hearts so that they can blossom in their own lives.
