Stress is inevitable, it's how we respond to it that matters. While stress can be a catalyst for spiritual, physical and emotional growth, it can also impact our short and long-term well-being. During stressful times, it's important to recognize emotional and physical changes. However, if we avoid or neglect our internal experiences because of the fear of
pain
, we essentially shut ourselves off from any potential growth our challenges offer. My goal is to support you through challenging times, allowing you to open fully to the present moment by incorporating compassion-oriented and mindfulness-based strategies.

Oftentimes life doesn't turn out the way we had planned. Still other times, the plans we made aren't what we thought they'd be at all!!

Life in general, can be challenging. I believe in the healing power of telling your story in a judgement-free environment where you feel safe. Research consistently shows it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, more than any other factor including the method of therapy, predicting the clients’ ability to use therapy to help themselves and make positive life changes. Therapy does not always solve the problems brought to it, but the best chance for success is when there is a strong therapeutic relationship. To me, the critical foundation of our counseling relationship is a partnership based on mutual respect and honesty.
