More than what meets the eyes

"Never judge a book by its cover" - I truly believe this as there is always more than meet the eyes. Everybody is unique and they all have different stories and struggles.

This belief has guided me in both my research and personal life, helping me uncover unique stories and meet interesting people.

As I transition into counseling, this mindset will continue to drive my efforts to connect with others on a deeper level to help them.

MY THERAPEUTIC INTERESTS

My Philosophy:

“Therapy is not about fixing people or emotions, it’s about accepting and walking alongside them, helping them uncover their strengths, and finding practical, meaningful ways to move forward.”
