Off to my internship to counsel clients!
10 years later, I’m running my own private practice as a licensed psychotherapist, but not without quitting the field from burnout from community health and coming back because healing our community is a care ethic I couldn’t quit for long. I send my gratitude to my late supervisor Phyllis Fonseca who was able to convince me a reality of leaving the field for higher ed and coming back because she was able to do it, so I did it too working as the LGBTQ+ Director at Wellesley College. Thanks Phyl! There are multiple alternate realities that I didn’t make it, but in this one I did. Same leather bag I came into grad school with too.
