Transitioning from a successful career as a Dynamic Office Manager at The Village Centre For Integrative Medicine, where I contributed to a 30% revenue growth through strategic initiatives and strong operational management. My experience in fostering collaborative environments, managing client relations, and understanding organizational dynamics provides a strong foundation for my pursuit of a career as a psychotherapist, driven by a deep commitment to supporting individual well-being and mental health.
