I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I work with clients with eating disorders, chronic illness, anxiety, trauma, women's issues and life transitions. Many times we may not be aware of how certain situations have impacted us. We may even feel that we have dealt with things cognitively; however, our actions and emotions may not align. I work from a trauma-focused lens which means that I believe that we have all had our fair share of difficulties that are impacting our present-day thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I work with clients to address past, present and future struggles to have a more adaptive perspective.

Resiliency is defined as "the ability to bounce back from difficulties". I believe that we all have an inner resilience that we just need to uncover. Sometimes we may even feel that we are almost forced to be resilient; however, we may just be in survival mode.
Resilience doesn't mean that you always have to be strong and it also doesn't mean that you have to go through things alone. Life has a lot of highs and lows and many times the lows are things that are outside of our control. This can leave us leaving us feeling helpless, hopeless, anxious, depressed and frustrated.
