Beliefs
I believe each of us matters, counts, has value and is worth it. I believe we are not defined by other's thoughts, opinions or judgements UNLESS we believe them also. Stop living your life being defined by others in a negative way and take control of who you are and know your "truths". Stop living your life trying to meet the expectations of others and let's define your own expectations for life and start feeling more in control.
I believe disappointment can be a gift that we receive and give. It's a gift in that it teaches us what our expectations are and gives us the ability to practice using and strengthen our emotional muscle of coping with disappointment. Disappointment is inevitable in life, we need to know how to handle it.
I believe we can't control history as it is already written and thus we can't rewrite it. That being said, I help you control tomorrow's history by what you do today. If you really want a different history, start today and call me to help.
I believe our thoughts and feelings can influence us, but do not control us. I help you to understand that thoughts are not always truth and feelings are not always facts. How to fight back against negative, destructive, and toxic thoughts and feelings.
I believe self-care is not being selfish, but instead mandatory for quality of living. Even the airlines tell you when the plane is going down put the oxygen on yourself first. As such, when you feel like you’re going down, life is moving too fast, or you feel out of control, or in chaos- put the oxygen on yourself first by calling me.
