Meet Sandy Johansson
Nursing can be a challenging program, and a challenging profession. Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, past trauma, or overwhelm? Awareness is the first step in wanting to shift your paradigm to a healthier mental and physical state. Often those in the helping professions find that their own wounds surface in the process of helping others. It is important to learn to take care of ourselves, as that is the most important relationship we have! You cannot give from an empty cup.
I can provide a safe and supportive place to identify and explore ways to nurture, heal, transform, and build resilience for yourself and your own personal wellness. Most programs can be delivered either virtually or in person. I offer one to one support, group psychoeducational workshops, connection to relevant community resources, and when needed, soft referrals to the main student wellness center.
