May has been a therapist for 14 years serving children, adolescents and families in outpatient and inpatient settings. She has experience running groups with at-risk adolescent females and miscarriage and loss. Her experience is in helping those dealing with trauma, grief-related cases, anxiety/depression and coping with life-changes. Her desire is to work with clients to create an open and safe place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Each person should be recognized for their uniqueness and deserves an individualized framework of therapeutic goals. Her approach is to actively facilitate positive change towards the desired goal, unique to the individual. Breaking free from past wounds sometimes means identifying emotional reoccurring upsets. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life is a challenge, it takes courage and a leap of faith.
“We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.” (St.JPII, 2008)
