We all have parts of our story that can bring about feelings of guilt, shame, regret, or confusion. Hope can be found by dealing with those painful parts of our story. By removing the negative feelings associated with those parts of our story, we can come to terms with the lessons learned, and the strengths that those unpleasant experiences gave us and helped shape us into the individuals we are today. Those unpleasant parts of our story do not have to define us. I would be honored to help you find Hope and Clarity from your life’s story.
Hope’s Clarity is a dream that was joked about in 2011 between my best friend and I when she found out I was going back to school to be a therapist. I had been a school bus driver for 16 years and loved my job as I felt I was making a difference in those student’s lives on a day-to-day basis. Little did I know that those students would be bringing me their heart wrenching problems that overwhelmed them from home. Problems like lack of food, warm clothing, alcoholic parents, and the list goes on. Sure, I could put money on their lunch and breakfast accounts, which I did. I could bring them warm winter gear, which I did, but I wanted to be equipped to do so much more.
I had a life before I decided to become a therapist so, I completely understand the stigma associated with seeking therapy and hope to break down those barriers to treatment one client at a time. I am familiar with the guilt, shame, and regret associated with past experiences which are often difficult to share with those who are close to us. I stive to provide a caring, supportive environment to explore difficult subjects in a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment. This is your journey, and I am a guide not a GPS. You choose where you want to go and which direction, we take to get you there.
I flew from out of state for treatment over the course of a weekend because I was having seizures that were caused by trauma. I was hoping that ImTT would help with the seizures. I was not expecting for my seizures to be completely gone! I am enjoying living life seizure free.
I am a veteran who has suffered with depression for some time. I do not know what stupid colors has to do with depression, but it is gone. I feel lighter.
