Why did I become a psychologist?
Growing up, I often heard, “You’re too sensitive.” Unfortunately, most of us aren’t taught how to cope with our painful emotions, myself included.
I set out to learn how to take better care of myself when I’m sad, anxious, or frustrated. I learned how to respond to my emotions with objectivity and self-compassion, instead of blindly reacting in the moment.
I want to show others how to do the same.
