MY STORY
Listener. Observer. New Yorker.
My very complicated introduction is that I am a therapist who spent over two decades disguised as a corporate marketing executive and consultant. This is my second career, but I feel like I spent my whole life preparing for it. Growing up in New York, I was labeled as shy but what I was really doing was honing my skills as a listener (it is hard to truly listen and talk at the same time). I was a people watcher and I had a lot of material in the very colorful streets of New York. I moved to the Midwest for college and my graduate studies with a stint in Southern California. Without planning to do so, I enjoyed getting to know the different approaches of people in the middle and other side of the United States. Eventually, I went back to the East Coast to work as a Marketing Executive. It was literally my job to assess the needs of consumers in order to promote to them and develop innovative new products which met their needs. I was in heaven! What? Getting paid to study people? Fabulous!! Then I had three kids and studied them and their friends for two decades. I was watching and learning about human behavior and no one suspected a thing.
MY NEW LIFE (or is it?)
At 35 years old, I decided that I did not find joy in my career as a Marketer and started looking for "my thing". I spent days, weeks and months thinking and brainstorming. I looked high and low for that thing that brought me genuine joy. There it was. And it was there all along. PEOPLE! I have always been intrigued and interested in studying people, what makes them do the things they do and think the way they think. So, I went back to school to fine tune the craft I had been training for all my life. Today, I can honestly say I am living my dream, to help those in need, one person at a time!
