Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Forgiveness is not simple and often we realize that it's not about someone’s harmful behavior; it’s about our own relationship with our past. When we begin the work of forgiveness, it is primarily a practice for ourselves.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SAP
Forgiveness is a process and must be practiced. Forgiveness is a healthy way to set yourself free. It is a gift that one can give themself as it is not for the other person. I possess years of assisting individuals develop the tools they need to help them grow and heal from the pain or events that one has experienced in life.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
The real purpose of forgiveness is to protect your own emotional and physical health by freeing you from anger, stress and negative thinking. It is more for you than it is for anyone else, and has nothing to do with regarding what happened as okay. You can still regret, disapprove of or feel devastated by what happened. And you can create the boundaries that are necessary for you to thrive and avoid further suffering. Forgiveness involves establishing a sense of peace and radical acceptance, acknowledging that past unjust events are unchangeable. And this frees you to move forward into new chapters and experiences. Self-forgiveness can free you from pointless persistent guilt and self-loathing. Forgiveness towards others can make relationship repair possible, if that is something you choose. More importantly it can limit the ongoing harm done to you by holding onto anger, resentfulness or guilt and replaying painful memories. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. When we have been wronged, there is a desire for justice, and a desire to protect ourselves from future hurts. I walk with people to help them forgive and heal from the wounds that were caused by others
