I had my last therapy session with a client today, & it finally hit me. As I get ready to step away for maternity leave, seeing the tears from clients (& having my own) reminded me once again just how special this work really is.
I am soooo grateful for every client who has trusted me throughout the years. I thank them for allowing me to walk with them through the hard moments, celebrate the wins, & witness their growth. Being invited into such vulnerable parts of someone’s life is something I never take for granted.
Clients have told me that I’ve changed their lives or that I’m good at what I do. But the truth is, they’ve changed mine. The work we do together is only possible because of their courage, vulnerability, & commitment to showing up for themselves ❤️🩹
As for what’s next, I honestly don’t know. I don’t know when I’ll return to providing therapy, what this next chapter will look like, or where my career will take me. What I do know is that I’ll carry all of these experiences, stories, & connections with me in my heart 🥲
For now, I’m stepping into this new season of my life with a lot of gratitude & trust that the next steps will unfold the way they’re meant to 🤍
Con cariño,
