“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”
–Arabian Proverb
I was called to become a clinician due to my deep value for family and the importance of mending broken relationships. Our society has become so fragmented that the longing for connection is a powerful drive that, when attended to, brings hope, healing, and self-acceptance. We do not travel this journey alone; becoming whole entails our becoming deeply tied to the important people in our lives.
