My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have focused my education and clinical experience working with people living with serious symptoms of Serious Mental Illness. I am more than an advocate; I am a member of the team. I have experienced the chronic and acute symptoms that interfere with understanding and processing information; that promote isolation, anxiety and paranoia; the mood swings and racing thoughts that lead nowhere; believing that suicide is a valid solution to current suffering. Because of my own experiences, I can meet you where you are emotionally and psychologically, completely judgement-free and with understanding that you are doing your best to manage and survive. I have learned the recovery principals needed to begin living a life outside of my illness-like being a partner, parent, friend and the million other things that make me who I am. I know that your recovery is possible because I have experienced my own. With the right tools and types of support, recovery is within your reach.
