Our relationships aren't defined only by what has happened, but also by what we want to work towards. Therapy can help with identifying what we want for our relationship in the future and make amends for the past.

What I love about mindfulness is you learn that being positive isn't more important than being honest, real, and grounded.

When teaching and practicing authentically, we can acknowledge suffering in a way that opens the door to resiliency, satisfaction, and joy.

Hey parents, this is hard work. Always remember, the most important thing your child needs from you isn't always consequences and sometimes can just be empathy.

This one is so good.

How do you practice assertive communication in your relationship?

Being assertive (instead of being aggressive or submissive) starts with self-awareness and direct communication. By expressing your needs clearly and avoiding criticism, you can start problem-solving while showing respect for yourself and your loved one.

It might take some time and effort to get in the habit, but this can lead to an incredibly satisfying pay-off: less stress and more fun; the growth of trust and romance; a more satisfying and fulfilling relationship.

A client once asked at their final session about giving me a positive review. I told them that if they wanted to share a review they could send me a quote in an email and I could share it without any identifying information. Little did I know the beautiful gift I would receive. I have held this email close to my heart and during this season of gifts I would like to share it.

This holiday season many people will be picking up the phone to reach out to family, friends, and loved ones. Remember that being vulnerable is a sign of strength and that other's responses do not reflect on our own value and self worth. So set boundaries, tell someone you love them, or reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a long time.

Using Sandtray is one of the most profound tools in my practice. Using images and pictures to communicate an experience or feeling can be so meaningful to clients.

I'm so glad I went with Karra for my professional portraits.

So why is it important to pay attention to what you wear to your headshot location and what you wear? Non verbal cues are important. Whether you realize it or not, what you wear and where you are for your headshot matters. Why? Because people make subtle judgments about you without often realizing they are making those judgments. Yes people are that fickle. The whole ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ is a thing.

Your location and your outfit need to represent your brand and the overall vibe of you and your business. Nicole (the headshot above) is a counselor. She had recently redecorated her office in a Hygge decor aesthetic so her counseling client would feel comfortable. Nicole wanted to put forth a professional but approachable style. We photographed Nicole in her office where she will meet and work with her clients. Her clients get to see where she works and will connect with her. By photographing her headshot in a space that her clients will recognize, they will comfortable because they will have already seen her in her space. Having clients who are seeking help feel comfortable builds rapport long before their first session with Nicole.

So when you are planning a headshot or even your next branding session - Think about what you look good in color wise, what fits your brand and how you want to tie your company’s focus is - would a headshot shot be better a traditional studio, an on location in your space with your equipment or maybe an outdoor location like a sunflower field!
