(q)urious /ˈkjʊə.ri.əs/ (adjective)
interested in learning about the people and things around you
If you ask a psychologist why they chose this work, many will say, “People interest me” or “I wanted to understand why people do what they do.” That’s been true for me for as long as I can remember—I’ve always wanted to know why.
I believe helping others begins with understanding them. That belief underpins my work as a mental health professional and is a central theme in my practice. Throughout my training, supervisors often reminded me: “Remain curious.” I take that to heart. Whether through assessment, psychological intervention, or therapy, my goal is to understand you.
