Current student at the University of North Texas (UNT), embarking on a transformative journey towards a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. With an unwavering commitment to holistic healing, I aspire to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), driven by the vision of establishing my own private practice where I can offer empathetic guidance and support to individuals navigating life's challenges.Passion radiates through my dedication not only to the field of mental health but also to the profound connection between animals and therapeutic healing. As an avid advocate for animal welfare and the therapeutic benefits they provide, I am enthusiastic about integrating animal-assisted therapy into my future practice. Recognizing the unique bond between humans and animals, I firmly believe in the power of this relationship to facilitate emotional growth and resilience.Beyond academics, I actively seek opportunities to deepen my understanding of counseling techniques, trauma-informed care, and the intersection of psychology and animal-assisted interventions. Through ongoing learning and collaboration, I aim to cultivate a compassionate and inclusive space where individuals feel empowered to embark on their journey towards holistic well-being.
