Honoring the Courage to Change

Honoring the courage
to  change

Why “Honoring the Courage to Change”? Years ago, while working with those in recovery, I learned a prayer written by theologian Rheinhold Niebuhr and adopted by every 12 Step Program of which I am aware.

It’s known as The Serenity Prayer:

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things that I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.”

I return to this prayer frequently and it reflects well the work done in therapy – finding the balance between what we must accept and what is possible to change and then finding the courage to make the changes that lead to health and wholeness.

Walking With You
You
are in the right place if you:
  • Are depressed, anxious and/or overly stressed
  • Feel disconnected from others or from yourself
  • Want to show up more authentically in your relationships
  • Wonder why the changes you need to make keep eluding you
  • Want to let go of the past so you can live more fully in the present
  • Are looking for a way to integrate treatment with your spiritual beliefs
  • Have found the changes you made in the past did not last

I’m passionate about this work and helping people make changes that matter.

I hope you find the information about my practice helpful in finding someone to walk with you in your journey of healing and growth.
