Then, sometimes, we don’t even know why things feel as hard as they do but all of the sudden we notice that even the little things feel like too much. We may know that something in our lives needs to change but we either don’t know what it is or we just don’t know where to start to make it happen.

It is time to make choices that feel aligned with your whole self and not your hurt self.  Therapy is not a road to a perfect life.  Therapy is a tool used to expand our self-awareness.  It helps us to identify when our past is influencing how we see, feel, or respond to the present moment.  Our emotional history plays a huge role in our present lives.  It impacts our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and creates the patterns we fall into. The goal of therapy is Joy. And, what brings us true joy is not the idea of a perfect life. It is a feeling of peace in the relationship with ourself and living life that is aligned with you.
