Mental illnesses do not always begin with a diagnosis. It can begin with an accumulation of emotions from disappointments, grief, heartbreak, pain, and sadness. Being mentally and physically overwhelmed with traumatic experiences can cause imbalances in your thinking. Everyone experiences some kind of mental health crisis in their lifetime, it is what you do to overcome those experiences that matter most. Embrace your healing, it is a choice, so choose YOU!!!

My own journey began with the shock, sadness and greif experienced during and after my mothers terminal illness from 2007 to 2009. In 2014 I was injured on my job resulting in a disability to my left knee. In December 2015 while recovering my grandson was seriously injured. In February 2016 my father died from cancer. Three months later on his birthday, my brother died of a massive heart attack. My brother also had mental illnesses. He lived with schizophrenia and bipolar disease his entire adult life. His death was the result of his inability to accept the needed medical care for his medical conditions due to his mental health diseases.

In 2017 these life changes are what caused my diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder. The information on this website continues to support my healing and I hope it can do that for you too.

In addition to everything I’ve experienced during my healing, two very wise, professional, and loving women were very instrumental during my healing journey. My therapist. who helped me understand my diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and how to manage it, and my Reiki teacher, who taught me how Reiki (energy healing) can help relieve stress and anxiety.

Peace and Love Always!
