About Brittany
I used to have a story that I was born fortunate enough to know my career trajectory at a young age. I now know that although there are some factors such as my mom being in the field that lent themselves to my decision, early childhood experiences sealed the deal.
I believe that we have the ability to turn what once wounded or traumatized us in to opportunity and life purpose. I see now that, that is exactly what I did but I would be remiss if I did not admit that it did not feel that way for decades. And there are times still that I see I have more work to do to fully integrate all the lessons.
I had a lot of support growing up with a roof over my head, food in my belly, and many loving people who secured bonds with, and supported me, early on. Simultaneously, I had struggles including a fairly absent dad, financial stressors, physical ailments, and a lot of loneliness and stress raised as an only child.
I have always felt empathetic and sensitive and I experience a draw to knowing and connecting with people. Growing up, I did not have many pretenses and was pretty open and vulnerable. In relationship, this sometimes worked out and other times did not. There were several occasions where I experienced a lot of heartache.
My natural affinity for people, paired with the early childhood experiences drew me to a path of helping people.
