Summary
I am a recent Psychology graduate who is deeply passionate about supporting the emotional and mental well-being of young people. Through my studies and experiences, I have developed a genuine understanding of how meaningful guidance and compassionate listening can shape a student’s life. I am motivated to create safe, welcoming spaces where students feel seen, heard, and supported through their challenges.
My goal as a future teen therapist is to help students grow in confidence, develop resilience, and realize their potential academically, socially, and emotionally. I care deeply about youth, especially those struggling with mental health concerns, and I am committed to offering steady encouragement, empathy, and practical support to help them thrive.
