Peace Work
The most basic kind of peace work. To know that you could even engage in peace work at its most grassroots level with just a smile – that’s a thought. This makes me think a little about how just the word peace is quite multifaceted really; it is layered by the beholder and not easily summarized, and … Continue reading Peace Work
Share your strength
A common theme I notice among those recovering from trauma is the ability to share their newfound strength with others who are suffering.

But self-care really can … Continue reading what is self-care, anyway?
Yes, I’m a therapist…and i make mistakes.
I am a therapist. I am human. I make mistakes as my clients do. Many times they teach me ways to manage life when it gets difficult!

Moments with tea
Compassion has no limit. Kindness has no enemy. You know, we don't always agree with one another. We may not even like one another.
