Finding our way into a compassionate relationship with ourselves is the key for finding resilience and strength. It takes practice and consistency to build self-compassion and the payoff is well worth it.

As I have been observing nature and immersing myself in art, I found this beautiful reminder of the complexity of what it means to be human - strong, lighthearted, flexible, fragile, resilient. We are all of those things at once. #strength #human #feather #flexibility #resilience #psychology #westlakevillage #therapy #losangeles #therapist #california #westlakevillagepsychologist

Our world has changed and many of the ways we have found to care for ourselves, engage and be present are being challenged. Our choice then becomes to meet this challenge with flexibility and creativity so that we can continue to flourish and evolve. #creativity #flexibility #adapt #adaptandovercome #psychology #therapy #psychologist #westlakevillage #losangeles #california #westlakevillagepsychologist

I love this from @notesfromyourtherapist. It really illustrates some important conservations I have been having in recent weeks. Close relationships require this kind of honesty and sometimes discomfort. Being uncomfortable is not a bad thing in this case. It is likely a sign change is happening. #beuncomfortable #relationshipgoals #relationships #notesfromyourtherapist #psychology #westlakevillage #losangeles #california #westlakevillagepsychologist

So much has happened in our collective worlds in recent weeks and months. Those radical changes can have us on a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes, we need to take a step back to regain our sense of equilibrium. While I have taken a step away to find my way toward steps to support my community, I am happy to be back to sharing again. #balance #equlibrium #taketime #stepaway #restart #psychology #selfcare #westlakevillage #westlakevillagepsychologist #losangeles #california

At a time of so much uncertainty, it is a beautiful thing when we can respect the unique ways in which we each navigate the stress and adapt to change. We are all trying to find our footing and it is helpful to be able to give one another room to figure out how to navigate our own path. We don’t have to agree and we don’t have to participate in anything we are not comfortable with; however, we can still make room for the ideas and opinions of others. #respect #unique #support #covid #pandemic #psychology #takeyourtime #westlakevillage #losangeles #california #westlakevillagepsychologist

Today, I was thinking a lot about the value of kindness in this world flipped upside down. When we choose to meet others with a loving heart, we offer them hope. I think we can all use a little of that right now. #kindness #hope #love #compassion #bekind #psychology #mindfulness #losangeles #california #westlakevillage #westlakevillagepsychologist
