Just completed a multi-day mastermind class through Empire Operating System. It was awesome! So many candid conversations about leadership, strategy and growth. Can't wait to continue bringing it back to my people at The Center for Therapy & Counseling Services

There is a great Rumi quote that says, “What you are seeking is seeking you.” I’ve always loved that, and I think it is THE quote for this moment. I believe that we are each seeking to be understood and to feel less judged. To be accepted for who we are.

Love is being willing to stay put when we want to quit, love is being willing to look at our pimples and jelly rolls with affection, love is talking with a Trump fan, and looking for what you have in common.

Empathy and equality aren't liberal values.
They are the values of anyone approaching life with heart and care and with an understanding of their own fears and blind spots.

"In working with thousands of adults and many teens and children over the course of 35 years, I have found that most people have an innate pull of curiosity and exploration. This impulse can be used to support healing. Sadly this primal energy is often forced underground by toxic stress and trauma. But this powerful resource lives deep within all of us and lies in wait, ready to be awakened at the right moment.
With this professional experience, I have learned that behind every statistic is a person. I have learned their stories. I have followed their journeys of healing and resilience. Having seen many get back up and thrive, my experiences have given me some insights and passion for helping others do the same."

My life experiences and professional training do not lead me to many black and white statements. If anything, becoming and holding the space of a therapist has only made me see more complexity within simplicity and be more comfortable with the unknowing shades of grey.
