Fun Fact about Me

Being a therapist is my second career!

I was a financial planner and a customer/product manager in a bank. I liked my job, but I didn't feel fulfilled or rewarding. At the same time, my clients found relief sitting in the office and chatting about their feelings and family stuff! I took this as a sign that I would make a career transition one day!
