My philosophy

I believe every person deserves respect and someone who truly cares about their well-being. One of my passions is working with individuals with personality disorders. "I am a lighthouse rather than a lifeboat. I do not rescue, but instead help others to find their own way to shore, guiding them by my example" (author unknown).
