It Will Get Better.

Here is a link to a great YouTube project to let LGBT teens know that “it gets better”.  It follows the suicide of a gay teen who was bullied by his peers for being gay.

What an honor to help support and know all my clients who have lived with hard questions and heavy hearts about who they are and who they love.  We must open the door to promise, safety, love and acceptance for EVERYONE.  Bigotry will not win.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within us out into the world, miracles happen.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe we are all strong beyond measure, even when we feel embarrassingly weak, and that we have a natural tendency to rise up to what lies before us.  This power of the human spirit often leaves me in awe.  I bear witness to great tragedies through the stories of my clients and I see (and feel) a full range of raw, gripping emotions.  As a therapist, my hope is to awaken people to their own energy and help them plug into this innate, core strength.  You’ve felt it before, right?  Life will always bring us uncertainty, struggle and pain.  The real power is deciding what to do then.  Lying down is not an option.
