It is in our darkest moments that we find the most precious parts of ourselves. We can learn to love and integrate those parts into our conception of who we are. This allows us to begin moving forward as an integrated whole, flowing more easily towards what we desire.
I was called to become a therapist after my own transformative road of therapy and recovery, and my consistent desire to help others find the way through their darkest times. The chaos, addiction, and trauma that was present through my early life carved me into a perfectionist, people pleasing high-achiever who was disconnected from my true self. I had learned to hide that part away to survive and stay safe. I later found that this disconnection was blocking me from moving into a space where I could thrive.
It is through my own therapeutic and spiritual work that I found the strengths in these parts of myself. I also gained deeper insight into who I am and began understanding how to love myself. I am still on this journey. My passion for the mental health field has blossomed on the fertile grounds of my darkest days.
It has also ignited an unstoppable desire to learn all I can about different avenues of healing that can support others in moving through their own transformative experiences in life. I love the journey of finding what works best for clients and then diving in and providing them the tools to feel better. And when the dark times do come, I will sit with them and weather the storm.
