In her spare time, she enjoys running, strength training, her chocolate Labrador Jazzy, and a good mystery novel.
courage|growth|vitality
Courage: Often, in our society, there's a stigma that going to therapy is a sign of weakness; that we can’t handle life on our own. However, life was never meant to be lived in isolation. Stepping into therapy requires courage; courage to face life’s challenges, courage to say "I’m struggling", courage to ask for help. Courage provides us with the strength to face the difficult circumstance, challenging relationship, or problematic thoughts and feelings we encounter in our lives.
Growth: Therapy is a place to engage in personal and relational growth. The desire for growth says that we are not content with living life "as is" or even maintaining the status quo. As we pursue growth, we believe that we can challenge ourselves to new heights and seek for ways to discover a better version of ourselves, our relationships and overall improving our quality of life.
Vitality: Courage and growth, partnered with insights and strategies within the therapeutic context can bring balance and vitality. We can live a fulfilling life with intention, as we work from the foundation of our values and goals.
