Hello! In this video I talk about my path to becoming a therapist. I hope this video serves to encourage you and let you know that for many of us the path is not linear.

However, I am SO glad I found this field and I am truly grateful to have a job that doesn't feel like a job to me. I know that a lot of people who find my videos are thinking about becoming a therapist, so no matter what stage you are at in your own journey I hope this sheds some light on what it CAN look like.

Let me know in the comments below where you are at on your own therapist journey. I would love to hear about it!
