As we navigate life, experiences continue to happen and it is our responsibility to decide what to do with our reality and accepting the cards we are given and the moments that come our way. We can pretend that our loved ones did not die, the divorce did not happen, the bullying never started, or the intrusive worries are just in your imagination and will go away on their own. However, avoidance does not bring healing. I am driven to assist my clients to develop a deeper level of awareness and to discover their own insights about childhood patterns, their behaviors, and thoughts about their relationships and communication styles.
