"Whether I was someone’s friend, team captain, or resident assistant, I have always valued supporting people I care about. Being drawn to roles and jobs where there was space for me to mentor and care for others, it just made sense to become a psychologist and learn skills to support people in ways that actually help. Getting to share in a client’s excitement when I see the pride, joy, or surprise on clients’ faces when they have an 'I did it!' moment after they use skills from therapy is one of the best parts of being a therapist."
