The Dogwood Approach
Personal and relational wellness is a balancing act among your physical, psychological, relational, and spiritual needs.

What’s in a name?
Dogwood trees are a beautiful symbol of resilience. They can live in rich soil or poor, grow in sun or shade, and survive droughts and floods. Even in the most challenging conditions, dogwoods adapt and grow. They are early spring bloomers, their flowers heralding in a new season of growth, beauty, and hope after the dark and dormancy of winter. This inspires the work of Dogwood Therapy & Coaching: using our strengths to grow through challenges, and letting the beauty of our growth usher in a new season of wellness.
