Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."

You might feel stuck between who you thought you’d be by now and where life has actually taken you. Maybe you’re navigating a new diagnosis, old patterns that won’t let go, or relationships that feel like the same argument on repeat. As someone in long‐term recovery who once struggled to launch into adulthood, I understand how overwhelming it can be to rebuild your life from the inside out. I work with adults 17+ of all genders, and I have specific experience supporting people living with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and men who are exploring identity, emotions, and connection.
