"Your past does not define your present or your future..."
I am a firm believer of this statement and I want to help you rewrite your story. I have been working with people at their lowest point in their lives my entire career. I have witnessed first had how we go through different chapters in our lives-some include amazing adventures and accomplishments while others include tragedy, loss and heartbreak. Despite the ups and downs, one constant remains that all those chapters give us the strength to carry on with the rest of our stories. My goal goal is to remind you that you have the ability and mental stability to not get stuck in those dark moments.
At Life Authored by You, we teach you how to control your reactions during those dark moments and offer concrete tools to better navigate life's ups and downs. I pull from the best practice techniques I have learned from my various experience. I have worked in a psychiatric hospital, community mental health as well as those facing the death penalty. This array of experience has taught me how to work with people at their lowest and gain a sense of compassion for humanity that I don't think I would have gained otherwise. This experience has also taught me our life circumstances do not define the destination. At any point in our journey we have the power to change course and rewrite a new, favorable outcome. I will empower you to harness the power you already possess to help you write the story you want to write.
Because it's your life, authored by you!
