Why I became a Therapist:

In early adulthood, I watched my peer group struggle on their own with mental health challenges. I decided then that I needed to do something about the mental health crisis in America. I shifted into a second career, starting out manning the phones at a crisis hotline, and seven years later I remain passionate about this work.
