Growing up in a household where mental health did not exist and was heavily stigmatized, I always felt different from my family members when it came to expressing emotions, being vulnerable and highly attuned to others, and ultimately felt like a fish out of water – an outsider that was “too sensitive”. Now, embracing and loving this part of me, I use those “weaknesses” as my strengths. I have felt my own growth and personal discovery through my work and know that growth can happen at any time, anywhere, even in the direst of situations. I come along with you on your journey as you learn to embrace who you are and create new paths.
