Even though we might live with a mental illness, we can live a full life! Anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, substance use, grief… we may have these experiences in our lives, but they do not need to be in control. We can live a life focused on our values, with meaning, and courageous strength. Since 2012 I've had the privilege of walking with youth, adults, couples, and families, helping them create a life worth living. What we learn to accept can transform us and help us cultivate a rich and meaningful life.
While we cannot rid ourselves of thoughts, feelings, experiences, or memories, we can learn to integrate them into our personal stories. This kind of reordering of our lives creates psychological flexibility that strengthens our well-being. We can learn how to drop the tug-of-war with these things and, instead, focus on what matters!
Through proven tools like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can address these issues, finding a path to a life worth living. I invite you to call, text, or email me! We can discuss your concerns, hopes, goals, and see if we would be a good “fit.” We can then sit down and lay out a road map for accomplishing your goals.
