I am one of those rare people that love what they do, but it wasn’t always that way. I know first-hand how it feels to be trapped in a career that leaves you unfulfilled and on a road to nowhere.
One of the most disappointing and confusing days of my life was the day I graduated from medical school.
Not quite the statement that you would expect from a drained student ready to take a well needed respite. Becoming a doctor was my parents’ wish, not mine. Not knowing how to find my own voice to speak up for my own desires led me down the trail to someone else’s expectations in silent acceptance. What ensued was a downward spiral that left me depressed, sick, and worst of all, hopeless. Through my own struggles and personal discoveries I climbed my way out of despair and into promise. I spent thirteen years practicing as a doctor. But as the years passed, I became increasingly frustrated about having chosen the wrong path. Finally, I decided to seek the real truth about myself, and what would really bring me joy.
Leaving the medical profession and becoming a psychotherapist with my own practice seemed like an unobtainable and distant dream, but that dream is now my life.
Let me help you to realize your dreams – whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you.
