About

This blog is a reflection on my journey studying the discipline of mental health counseling on a master’s program. What led me to mental health counseling is seeing the suffering and trauma that the war brought. I hope to be able to serve my community by alleviating some of this pain. Together towards a happier and free self for everybody. Let us be happier and freer.
