Remember, attitude is everything...The way we walk, the way we talk, and the way we present ourselves to everyone....Believe in yourself and you will achieve greatness.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was attracted to becoming a therapist because I had a big nose growing up and was made fun of by all the kids. I was called "ski slope" "banana face" and other horrible statements. When I had my nose fixed when I was 18, it changed my life. I decided when I went to college I was going to help others that may have felt like I did. Thus, I got my undergraduate degree in Psychology and my Masters Degree in counseling. I strive to make people feel good about themselves.
