Studying psychiatry and mental health have taught me so much, but the events of my own life have pushed me to pursue the path of mental health.

I have faced a quite a few trials throughout my life. I grew up with divorced parents, lost my younger brother to suicide, survived brain cancer, was married to an addict, went through a divorce myself, and navigated the incarceration of my children’s father. I have had close friends and family members struggle with ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction. While these challenges have been extremely difficult, they have also been my greatest blessings. I believe that our hard experiences alchemize us for good. My past has turned me into a source to go out and produce good in this world.

My struggles have also taught me so much about God’s love for me and His steady hand in my life. I have learned that choosing love, although difficult at times, is always the answer. For me, truly understanding this concept and allowing myself to feel the power of choosing love, has made all the difference.

By leaning into God, I have been able to take the broken pieces of my life, and turn them into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Today, I am the mother to five amazing kids and I am married to an incredible man who inspires me and encourages me to be my best self.

I chose to name my practice Amoré because love is the guiding principle of my life. I want to share the power of choosing love with others and help each person I work with live a life filled with love, purpose, and connection.

If you are feeling hopeless, or not sure where to start, that’s ok! I would be honored to help walk this journey with you and help you live a life you love. Let’s get started!

 With love,

Misty
