Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because of a personal call to action following a tragic loss to suicide within my family's circle. This event inspired me to support others, initially focusing on law enforcement professionals and later expanding to all adults facing anxiety and depression. My ongoing motivation stems from witnessing individuals transform tough life experiences into personal triumphs, guided by tailored care plans and the belief in each person's ability to heal and grow.
