Our society gives us countless messages everyday that we need to be superhuman. We end up feeling like we shouldn’t struggle, that we’re not allowed to feel pain, and that acknowledging our problems will make us vulnerable and weak.
The truth is, constantly ignoring our struggles, or trying to simply wish them away, takes a toll on both our physical and mental well-being.
When we are willing to face our difficulties, and to seek the expert guidance that we need to move past them, then we have the opportunity to learn how to compassionately view ourselves with courage and integrity, to uncover our deepest strengths, and to build stronger bonds within ourselves and the important people in our lives.
I am based in Colorado, and provide counseling to a wide range of people including:
I maintain confidentiality for the safety and privacy of my client. The client/provider relationship is founded on a professional connection that is bound by law, my ethical standards and a duty to respect client privacy, protection and safety. The law provides exceptions to confidentially in the case of child/elder abuse and danger to self or others, and allows for the client to provide written permission to the provider to talk with third parties when appropriate to the process of treatment.
