What you really need to know.

I believe the best therapists are those who can relate to their clients...not because they understand their struggles in the context of what they read in a textbook, but because they've actually been there. Clinical knowledge is necessary but personal experience is invaluable.  I have a passion for what I do because I've been through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've struggled. I've endured toxic relationships and circumstances, and I've harbored pain and resentment for what I felt was unfair. I'm far from perfect, and I've made poor decisions in trying to "heal." But ultimately, I made a choice to use these difficulties as an opportunity for growth. And the key word here is "choice." It is through life's most challenging moments that we have a chance to build resiliency. We can get back up after we fall. But we must actively make this choice...even though it's certainly easier said than done.

I hear you. I see you. And I'm here for you. You don't have to stay stuck. Make a choice to take a chance so you, too, can experience sustainable healing and change your life today.
