Personal Statement
Throughout my life, I have always loved helping people. It’s what prompted me to become a counselor. I enjoy listening to others, providing encouragement and support, and helping people find their own solutions to life’s challenges. I believe that people are all trying their best to navigate life in a challenging world. Sometimes, we need a bit of help and counseling can be very restorative.
