Forgiveness can be hard, especially when you have felt hurt, betrayed or let down. Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, we provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. Through an exploration of compassion, naming one's needs, and addressing accountability, while recognizing that all humans are imperfect, we can work through forgiveness-an act that can liberate yourself from feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment.
Rahwa Gebredingle, Barbara Brown, Benjamin Rubinoff, and Terri Roberton, come with specialized training in spirituality, including processes of forgiveness. Contact our Intake Worker to help determine who will be the best fit for you.
Forgiving someone can be a difficult experience. However, once we forgive, we allow ourselves to feel a sense of freedom. Our clinicians will work with you to understand your situation and work with you towards forgiveness and developing empathy for yourself.
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP (Qualifying)
I approach forgiveness as a release from the hope for a different past. Resentment, like drinking poison in the hopes of harming another, only deepens your pain. But what if forgiveness could be an act of self-care, a way to free yourself rather than condone the harm done? We will explore how you can find peace and healing, even when apologies or remorse are absent. Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past—it’s about reclaiming your present. We’ll navigate what’s possible for you on this journey, empowering you to let go and move forward with greater emotional freedom.
Forgiveness shouldn't be forced. Only you can know if and when you're ready to forgive. Remember that the act of forgiveness is not about the other person but, instead, for yourself. To forgive others doesn't equate to reconciliation, nor does it mean to condone. It's meant to release your resentment and permit you to reclaim your life.
Being unable to forgive can take away a person's freedom to feel the way they want to. By working with Soulful Therapy, a compassionate approach, my client's come to understand what has happened to them in their past that keeps them from being able to move forward from their deep wounds.

I help you break down the barriers of Forgiveness by offering focused-based techniques. Forgiveness means different things to different people. Sometimes it's a decision of "letting go" of toxic feelings that keep you stuck or trapped with an unpleasant experience or person. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness helps you to go on with your life in a healthier way. Forgiving yourself is the first step of Self-love, Self-care, and Self-acceptance. You embrace your Truthfully.
Do you find yourself unable to forgive someone you care about? Is the pain of the injury too great? Has trust been shattered? Are you waiting to see justice prevail? When forgiveness is elusive it’s often because we’re in pain or angry. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you better understand what stands between you and forgiveness including the boundaries that need to be re-established, the healing that needs to occur, the blocks from the past that need to be removed, and even whether forgiveness is a necessary step in moving forward.
Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified.
Clients who continue to hang on to painful emotions related to a mistreatment—even though they have every right to hold those emotions—can receive great benefit from forgiveness therapy. A number of positive outcomes, such as reductions in depression, resentment, and rumination, have been associated with forgiveness.

As a daughter of refugees fleeing a war who was born in a refugee camp , i have had to navigate inter generational trauma in my own journey to forgiveness. My approach, informed by this background and underpinned by research, provides practical strategies for both offering and accepting forgiveness. Learn to release resentment and cultivate healthier relationships through simple yet effective techniques. Embark on a path to healing and moving forward with someone who has firsthand experience with the transformative power of forgiveness.
The power of forgiveness is often very surprising and many have difficulty with this. It is often conflated with forgetting and being used as a doormat or letting someone off scot free. The hardest one to forgive is often oneself.
I help individuals navigate the challenging journey of forgiveness, providing compassionate support and effective strategies to release resentment and heal emotional wounds. My approach focuses on fostering self-compassion and understanding, empowering you to move forward with a lighter heart and a more positive outlook on life.
Sometimes bad things happen to nice people. We can find ourselves stuck as a result of these situations and it can be difficult to move forward or even see anything else. Our perspective can become distorted by the perceived "boulder in the middle of the road". Holding these negative emotions on a regular basis inside our bodies can even make us physical ill. If you are finding yourself dealing with this challenge, consider that hypnosis is an excellent tool you can use to reach the crux of the problem and allow you to move forward.
True forgiveness of others and of self is a very difficult task to accomplish. I will work with you to find the root of the issue and see how you can release the past in order to brighten the future.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

Forgiveness is a process like anything else; it takes time and it is important to realize it is ultimately optional. Forgiveness is for us; not for them and it doesn't mean condoning their behavior. It simply means in time we move on from it though this can take time.
Forgiveness is challenging when you are innocent and the perpetrator is not willing to be accountable for their actions. It is not something that happens over night and it is not always to even accept for yourselfm even if you are innocent. Patience, courage and allowing all of your emotions to be accepted with respect, serves to heal personal boundaries and respect. You are worthy of care, love and support.
