An Episode Only My Mother Would Enjoy

This episode’s a little different (and a bonus one for this week based on some questions / input I've gotten the last few weeks). I’m sharing my own story. You’ll hear how I found my way to becoming a mental health counselor in more detail from some pretty unexpected detours to deeply personal turning points.Before the therapy office, there were overseas adventures and offshore platforms. (Yes, those steel-toed boots had a front-row seat to some soul-searching.) I’ll talk about the places I’ve lived, the jobs that shaped me, and the studies that helped me understand how to be with people in their hardest moments.🛤️ What I cover:- Cross-cultural living and how it rewired my perspective- My time working offshore—and what it taught me about isolation and resilience- The educational path that led to clinical work- My experience and trainings that guide how I show up with clients- The values at the center of my practice: curiosity, compassion, and honest conversationWhether you're in the field, on your own healing journey, or just curious about how this all came to be (or just wondering about me)—this one’s for you.
