My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I know that we all have and will continue to challenges and adversity. We always have an opportunity to grow and have compassion for our natural vulnerabilities. Gaining practices that strengthen our mind, body, and spirit help us stay grounded as we navigate our life situations. We all have a core self inside of us that we can learn to notice, and trust. I believe it is important to learn how to maintain curiosity as a human being. Curiosity welcomes understanding and nourishes our spirits. We can feel empowered to care for ourselves and love each other. I believe that therapy provides space to be curious about your life, strengthen your voice, enliven your inner spirit, be seen in your wholeness, and empower your being. Let's be curious together.
