My Why

After dedicating over 25 years to advancing my education for license renewal and excel in my career, I found myself grappling with burnout. In my relentless pursuit of professional growth and excellence, I often inadvertently prioritize my career over my own well-being. The demands of the field, coupled with the pressures of continuing education, left me feeling depleted, both mentally and emotionally.  

 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand the importance of self-care and the profound impact it has on my ability to effectively support others. Yet, I often struggled to prioritize my own needs amidst the demands of my profession. This imbalance can take a toll on my mental health and overall quality of life.

​

My journey has inspired me to establish a space where individuals can harmonize their careers with self-care.  It's crucial to find ways to integrate our personal and professional lives in a way that nurtures both aspects of ourselves. By acknowledging the need for self-care and prioritizing our mental health, we not only enhance our own well-being but also strengthen our ability to serve our clients and communities effectively.

​

By bringing together the worlds of career advancement and personal well-being, we can create a more holistic approach to professional development within the field of mental health. This involves recognizing the importance of self-care, fostering a culture of support and balance, and exploring innovative ways to integrate personal growth and professional excellence.

​

Ultimately, by investing in our own mental health and well-being, we not only enhance our ability to thrive in our careers but also contribute to a healthier, more resilient mental health workforce. I invite you to join me in the endeavor to cultivate a life of equilibrium, where career intersects with self-care.
