Since I was asked to write my story about why I chose to become a Marriage and Family Therapist for one of my MFT courses, I thought it might be of interest to share here.

My Hopes in Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist

My sincere hopes for becoming a therapist are to be a source of strength, hope and empowerment to individuals, couples and families as they uncover their innate capacity to be the best they can be, and to experience the greatest joy and fulfillment possible in their lives.
