“My reason for being a therapist is to meet the mental health crisis that is occurring on the global stage. There is a mental health crisis that was exacerbated by the pandemic and I’ve seen so many families struggle to find support. I want to collaborate with those families to alleviate the physical and mental suffering that they are experiencing, so they can lead healthy and productive lives.”
