What would your clients and colleagues say is your therapist superpower?
I would say that my clients and colleagues would say that my therapist superpower is my intuition. My work can be very deep and by doing the deep work with my clients, they are able to release and heal their deeper parts that have been disrupting their lives. I think my intuition is my God given gift.
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
I myself have a traumatic background that really changed who I am today. With my major trauma happening later in life, I was able to see how trauma can change one’s personality and the way a trauma survivor sees the world.
What inspired you to choose this profession?
