So honored to be here. Introduction post. I am a graduate student in my last semester so I am completing my final internship and hope to graduate in May with my tLMHC. A little about me: My first call to counseling happened after my daughter died at birth and I felt so alone. I knew that I wanted to work with those grieving and make sure no one ever felt that. Without a college degree, and 2 young ones, life happened. Then I was diagnosed with an autoimmune at 40. I decided to go back to online school and complete my BS in Human Services while I stabilized. I graduated at 45 and was able to walk across the stage. Health took a turn, life took another, and pandemic. I decided it would be a great time to get my MS in CMHC. It has been a challenge at times to balance my health and this new path but so rewarding. During practicum, I counseled children and that was all they wrote and haven't looked back. I hope to stay in the area and work with kiddos who live in rural Iowa. Thank you for the invite and I look forward to knowing all of you.
