Why did you decide to become a counselor?
I’ve thought about becoming a counselor over the course of several years. It began with seeking therapy myself, and throughout that experience, I realized that I love hearing people talk about the going ons in their lives. In particular, I enjoy providing tools to help them improve and succeed with whatever problems they are experiencing. Offering empathy and reassurance to others is what gives me joy.
