Since I was a little girl, I struggled with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and problematic eating. This fueled a passion to get over this daily misery and a compassion to help others overcome these challenges too.

 

I went through 10 years of therapy, went to school and got both my bachelor's and master's degrees in social work, did some professional counseling and case management, and got really jaded and disenfranchised by traditional therapy and the mental health profession​.

 

It felt so sterile. I was tired of sitting there, feeling awkward and trying to figure out what to say to a stranger, or rehashing my childhood. I went to so many different therapists and they essentially were safe places to vent, but there was no real treatment.

 

Being on the other side of that felt worse, like I was supposed to have a magic wand and be perfect: perfectly stable, wise, comforting, smart, and creative enough to fix any problems.​ I was tired of seeing the people I helped also struggle to see any real progress despite therapy and psychiatry.

 

I took a step back, not seeing any other options but continued to fight to find empowering, effective holistic health solutions for myself and others. I encountered a methodology of practice where sessions are very active and practical. The practice was so effective that after less than a year of work I can confidently say that I no longer experience suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc. 

​

Not only that, but I feel such a steady source of joy, stability, and faith in my life now that has opened up a life of passion and presence. I'm so thankful for encountering and learning the tools that have truly transformed my life. 

 

After a year-long immersive education, I am now certified in this methodology, called Acceptance and Integration Training or AAIT©. I have continued my education and experience in practice, learned philosophies that developed my ideas about people coming together to help each other out, instead of working in the traditional professional/client hierarchy. I have worked on my own personal development, honed my skills, and expanded my knowledge (and will continue to do so) so that I can be a competent, clear-headed and strong partner in tackling life's challenges with another person.
