What motivated you to pursue a career in mental wellness, and what has been your most fulfilling moment as a counselor?
 
Motivation to Pursue a Career in Mental Wellness
 
My journey toward mental wellness began with a deep-rooted desire to help individuals navigate their most challenging experiences. I have always been drawn to understanding the complexities of the human mind, which led me to explore various aspects of mental health, particularly trauma healing, relationship empowerment, and suicide prevention. These areas resonate with me because they hold the power to transform lives in profound ways.
 
Mental wellness is more than just alleviating symptoms—it's about empowering people to regain control of their lives, rediscover their strengths, and foster resilience. I am motivated by the idea that every individual deserves a chance to heal, and I believe that with the right guidance and support, they can overcome even the most overwhelming obstacles. My commitment to this field is driven by the belief that mental health should be prioritized, and I am passionate about playing a part in that transformation.
 
Fulfilling Moment as a Counselor
 
One of the most fulfilling moments in my career as a counselor was when I worked with a client who had experienced deep trauma and felt disconnected from their relationships and life. They were struggling with feelings of hopelessness and had contemplated suicide. Over time, through trauma healing techniques and relationship empowerment sessions, we were able to work together to uncover their inner strength, reframe their relationships, and find new meaning in life.
 
The turning point was when they shared with me that they no longer felt like a victim of their past but rather someone in control of their future. Witnessing that shift—from hopelessness to empowerment—reminded me of the profound impact this work has. It reaffirmed my dedication to being present for those who feel unseen, giving them the tools to not only survive but thrive. Each small victory is a testament to the human spirit's resilience, and moments like these continually inspire me to keep going in this incredibly rewarding field.

As a successful woman in leadership and a therapist, what advice would you give to other women striving to balance career success with personal fulfillment?
 
As women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple roles—whether it's in our careers, families, or communities. While these roles are important, it’s equally crucial to remember that our duty is not only to others but also to ourselves. Self-care and self-prioritization are vital parts of our journey, and pursuing our own dreams is not selfish but necessary.
 
Your ambitions and personal growth are as important as the care and support you offer to others. It’s easy to fall into the pattern of sacrificing your dreams in the name of responsibility, but true balance lies in embracing both. Prioritize time for yourself, whether it's through self-care, learning something new, or simply taking a step toward your own goals.
 
Remember, by nurturing your well-being and pursuing your passions, you are not only enriching your own life but setting an example for those around you—especially younger generations. A fulfilled and empowered woman can give so much more to her career, family, and community.
 
So, take time to care for yourself, chase your dreams, and know that you are deserving of every opportunity for growth, both personally and professionally. Your dreams matter just as much as anyone else’s, and you can achieve them without guilt.
