Alina here! I'm so glad to meet you. You know, I've always been fascinated by meeting new people and learning about their stories. So why don't we start with mine?
I was born and raised in a small town in Eastern Europe. My parents were farmers who grew up during the Soviet era. They instilled in me the value of hard work, determination, and perseverance from a young age. But they also encouraged me to follow my dreams, no matter how big or crazy they might be.
When I was 18 years old, my parents decided to move to America to pursue greater opportunities for themselves and their daughters. It wasn't easy at first - we had to adapt to a new culture, learn a new language, and start from scratch professionally. But with hard work and determination, we were able to make it work.
I went on to study psychology at a local university and eventually opened my own practice as a therapist specializing in trauma recovery. It's been an incredible journey, filled with challenges and triumphs alike, but I wouldn't change anything about it.
So what about you? What brought you here today and what are some of the highlights from your life so far?
