Healing, Mindfulness, Acceptance

We create meaning from our pasts, events, and thoughts. Mindfulness can help us recognize when the meaning we are creating is not serving us. We can cultivate curiosity about the pain, suffering, and unhappiness in our lives. Looking through a lens of acceptance and inquisitiveness can open the door to non-judgement and self-compassion. Through that door, healing can begin.

Healing has been referred to as getting to a point where you can live in acceptance. Healing might mean living in wholeness and contentedness. Healing can be letting go of the unnecessary suffering in life. Healing might be taking control of your own story. Healing can be touching on those things that are difficult and scary with love and compassion instead of fear and pain.

I aim to help you find your own path to healing and what it will look like and mean for you. I provide counseling to allow you to thoughtfully consider the story you are living and how you want to move forward in that story. You are in control of deciding what healing is for you. I can help you regulate your nervous system so that the story is not as stress inducing. I can help you rewrite the story to help you feel whole and content. I can help you learn skills of self-compassion so you can move towards acceptance. This is your story, counseling can help you regain the feeling of control in writing and accepting it.
