Mirrorly Human

There is an ancient legend of three essential powers that humans must master in order to be the best version of ourself; The Power of the Sword, to protect what we love, The Power of the Gem, to survive and thrive and The Power of the Mirror, to know oneself.

 As a Licensed Therapist having worked in Mental Health for over twenty years, I have met thousands of people and had countless conversations revolving around the fears, the secrets, shadows, and desires of people’s internal lives. The metaphor I often use when introducing the concept of therapy is that “I hold up the mirror for people.”  If the client is willing to look at themselves honestly, they have the opportunity to grow and transform their lives.

 This Blog offers practical wisdom through stories and insights from decades of counseling and providing therapy.  The reader will gain insight into common patterns of human behavior as it pertains to intimate relationships, marriage, families and problems that individuals come to address in therapy.  We will explore fundamental mental health challenges such as: depression, anxiety, and anger.  We will also journey through topics, that enhance the journey of self-awareness and personal growth. 

 What kind of life would you be living if you were a better version of yourself? Look in the mirror and get to know yourself; the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful.   All of these aspects of ourselves make us Mirrorly Human.
