📍Long Beach, California

“As I was transitioning from a care-free, social lifestyle to the far more serious, seemingly isolating world of adulting, I was taking in a lot of information about how to succeed in my career and create that work-life balance as a creative through podcasts and books. I had a plethora of information and tools on exactly what I needed to do, but I felt like I was the only one having these monstrous revelations. I didn't know anyone else who had the sudden ambition light-switch flipped on and I just felt like I was turning my back on my circle of friends and my light-spirited personality.

My therapist acted as an actual outlet for me to talk to a human being about this instead of just thinking about it 24/7 by myself. Being able to take advice and connect with someone with life experience who could relate or at least provide anecdotes to my personal and specific story was huge. My therapist helped me understand just how beneficial my mindset is for my future and equipped me with proper insight on how to handle this internally from a heartfelt perspective.”
