As a social worker I share the idea that as a counselor I can support you and how you operate in the world by providing supports’ that ventures outside our sessions. I was influenced by my own experiences in therapy to start the journey as a counselor and I want to work to dispel the stigma and negative perceptions held within culturally diverse communities.
