“The only thing constant is change.”
~ Heraclitus, Greek philosopher
Have you experienced a major life event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life at times presents us with significant challenges, often in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can be disorienting and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome such challenges, but also develop into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted nor expected, can positively influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to evaluate our priorities and to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared to cope with future adversity. With each new challenge, we can develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.

Is it Time to Speak to Someone?
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. I’m here to offer a warm and encouraging environment where you can speak candidly and receive compassion and guidance.
