Our Story

The creation of Our Collective Journey (OCJ) sprouted from a personal story of struggle and triumph. After witnessing a close friend navigate the complexities of mental health, I was inspired to build a sanctuary where individuals could explore their feelings without judgment. I envisioned a place that celebrated vulnerability as a strength, where sharing experiences could weave a fabric of support and understanding. Each of us at OCJ brings our own life stories, and through our varied backgrounds—from art therapy to community advocacy—we’ve woven together a comprehensive tapestry of care. For me, it’s about more than just providing services; it’s about nurturing connections that uplift and empower. At the heart of OCJ is the belief that every journey is unique and deserves to be honored and explored collectively. That's the essence of who we are.
