My Story
It was a beautiful day when I finally realized my life was not truly my own. I had been living according to the expectations of other’s for so long, I had not figured out my true purpose. Every decision I made was based on what my family, society, or my race and gender had dictated to me. While my life wasn't bad, it just didn't feel like me. So, I resigned from my executive leadership position. Within two months the pandemic happened, and the world stopped! allowing me for the first time to really think about what I wanted. That's when I decided to start my own virtual therapy practice - SMART Practice.
The vision was simple - my specialty would be helping mature women live guilt-free, free of others' expectations, and empower them to create their own second act. I launched my therapy practice, and the response has been overwhelming. People from all walks of life reach out to me, seeking guidance on how to break free from the expectations holding them back. I listened to their stories and struggles with empathy and compassion.
I helped them see that they had the power to change their lives, to create a new reality that resonated with their true selves. And slowly but surely, I watched as they transformed into the best versions of themselves. Starting a virtual therapy practice was one of the best decisions I've made. I know that as long as I keep putting my clients first and staying true to my purpose, I can make an even greater impact in the world.
