The Power of the Pause: Mental Health Therapist Gives Five Benefits of Taking a Break
Pause. A temporary stopping or slowing down, in order to rest, reflect, regroup. This world has been and continues to be a “heavy” place, and just as a marathon runner must pace themselves for the longevity of finishing their race, we also need to pace ourselves to sustain our energy over the lifetime.

Grief Chose Me.
In grad school to earn my Master's in Counseling degree a few years ago, I recall one of my professors saying, “we often don't choose our area of expertise, it chooses us.” This thought stayed with me. Fast forward to today. I'm now a Licensed Professional Counselor, with one of my specialties being grief counseling. Grief “chose” me, and it is my honor and privilege to sit with folks in the midst of their pain over the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a beloved pet, a career, a dream, a relocation, or any other loss that is impacting their life and/or ability to function in optimal ways.
