I started this business because, like you, I've struggled in my life to find my place. Struggling from a past filled with sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and abandonment, it was no surprise that as an adult, I struggled to adjust. In my initial attempt to seek help, I faced burnt out doctors overloaded with patients and misdiagnoses due to subjective opinions. The system failed me over and over as I went through a series of "trial and error" therapy and medications while I sorted out the details of my past damage. In sorting through my own damage I found my passion to help others, who suffered as I had, regain control of their lives. I became a psychiatric nurse and loved every moment of my job. I understood my patients and I knew how to help them. The problems I seemed to run into were always in the mental health system itself. I finally realized what needed to change.
I found a therapist who focused his process on complete self-reflection and responsibility. After six years of therapy, along with a career in psychiatric nursing, I had completely walked through my entire life, facing the damage that occurred at each stage, and healed the unique brokenness that interfered with my path in life. After the journey I looked back and had only one thought... this didn't have to take so long, and owe what I could have achieved if I knew all this in the beginning. Since then, working with a licensed therapist, utilizing both career based and personalized experience, I developed my program.
My workshops allow the individual to go through years of therapy in a very short time. It requires complete devotion to oneself as well as a desire to take responsibility for the choices in your life. I spent my childhood becoming what everybody else determined I was, and my young adult years questioning myself every step of the way. It took years of therapy to finally realize one simple thing... I'm in charge of me. In learning that I realized I'm in charge of my choices, the feelings behind them, and the reactions to them, but I'm also responsible for them. My past has shaped me but it has guided only my past. I am in control of my future, and by taking responsibility for my personal damage I can undo the mistakes from my past.
I am now dedicated to helping others find themselves and become the person they were always meant to be, ensuring that you never waste your time painting someone else's background when you can create your own masterpiece instead.
