"Life can be difficult to balance; relationships, parenting, work, and finding time for yourself. Is your life out of balance? Are things changing in your life? Acceptance and change are related. For positive changes to occur, first acceptance of the current situation, or reality is required. If you don't accept the current situation, if you're "in denial" there will be no efforts made to change. There will be no vision of something requiring change, so no change can occur. Trying to force change without acceptance causes clinging to the very thing you're trying to change."

"I help individuals and couples who feel like they are sinking take a brave step toward wholeness in a space designed to remind you that you do not have to be alone in your pain. It can be excruciating to turn and face the issues that have fragmented your relationship with yourself and others. "
