The fact that you are reading these words tells us you have been attempting to overcome some type of life adversity. We often do not seek this type of help, mostly because of the many negative judgments that have influenced us since our childhood. It is these vary experiences, along with our own perception of them, that has caused and exacerbated the very symptoms we seek help for. It has been my experience that this history needs to be revisited, reviewed, and re-addressed so that we can overcome many of the chronic conditions that affect far too many in this world. “There is no birth of consciousness without pain”, Carl Jung

Life is a series of challenges, difficulties, and conflicts. Your response to these experiences can make or break you. A path filled with openness, curiosity, and a passion for learning - what has been called a growth mindset - fosters mastery, resilience, and well-being.

As a therapist who has embraced the growth mindset, I strongly believe that in creating an environment of emotional safety, acceptance, and understanding, these qualities can be cultivated into a pathway of healing, change, and amazing growth.
