I thoroughly enjoy working with all age groups 12+. I hold the LGBTQIA community near and dear to my heart. The additional stressors that can arise from identity and acceptance can escalate struggles in one’s life and I work compassionately with that understanding. I also enjoy working with military members and their family. I grew up in the military community and married into it as well. Moving regularly or just living away from “home” can cause internal disruption for adults and children alike, and not living near family can also create it own set of unique difficulties.
There is this idea that we should view the world and our life as being “half full” and while that is not directly a negative, it is also not accurate. Life can be tough at times and for some–most of the time. I do not subscribe to the notion of toxic positivity. I encourage clients to reflect on what that means in their lives and if they have felt pressured to “suck it up”, “get over it”, or “move on”. Ick. I like to reframe that thought into moving forward with the understanding that our past does not go away. Instead, we learn tools to strengthen our resilience and ability to look outside of the lens of our past into our future and the role we play in creating that future.
