The day my mom died from suicide, I said the words out loud, “I am going to do something with this, she didn’t die for nothing”. One morning, months later, as I often did, I spent time asking myself, “why me?”. But that morning was different. That morning I heard “Why not me?”. I heard it with my heart, clear as the day that was before me. It wasn’t all for nothing, and in that moment I knew what I needed to do with this tremendous loss.Despite being a single mom of 2 girls,within the next 7 years, I proudly received both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree for Clinical Social Work. My heart wanted, and needed, to help others who struggled; just as my mom did. I needed this to heal, for myself and my girls. It wasn’t quick or easy;but just as diamonds are formed under pressure, so are we. And that is how,Diamond Heart Therapy was born.Life sometimes blinds the ability to see our own potential, but our hearts continue to sparkle underneath. Life is meant to be lived and felt with the heart. Therapy is a tool to help mine the treasure of potential that is waiting to be discovered inside of you.​​ The Diamonds & Donations Gala,hosted by Diamond Heart Therapy& Foster’s Voice, will be the annual fundraiser for the Foster Cares Fund in Des Moines! 100% of these funds will be put into the Foster Cares Fund, at Diamond Heart Therapy & Counseling, for FREE mental health services to be offered in the Des Moines area!
