About

Our culture does a good job of making us believe that we are somehow broken or defective. In our efforts to cope with this perception many of us find ourselves developing "dysfunctional" habits like staying in unhealthy relationships, using drugs and/or alcohol to escape or numb ourselves from our pain, or other choices that will never make things better. Some people try to achieve perfection and hide their flaws while others are more comfortable being seen by society as “bad”. Either way, this doesn’t allow us to be seen as the individual we truly are: a messy and imperfect human. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and to try to make things better for yourself. As someone who has taken this journey myself, I know what it is like to be misunderstood and feel like our past defines us. But that isn’t true. Know that in my office, I will not judge you for the choices you have made to survive.
