Using the power of your mind to guide your decisions makes life much more controllable. Our self talk is often error-ridden, and filled with bad habits. A skilled outside party such as myself, using a Cognitive Behavioral Approach, can point these out, make a plan and put you on the mend.
Often I see clients whose lives are out of balance, living in very unhealthy ways. I help them see that these self-inflicted obstacles are well within their control. With encouragement and guidance, they can be free of the old ways of living.
I believe we must each take responsibility for ourselves. But we also exist in a system of relationships, and if these are unhealthy, so are we. I assess not only the individual, but the important ties in each person’s life. By working in this multilevel framework, I address the full depth of clients’ issues, not just the surface.

pain halved.”
Did You Know? Therapy is about living the examined life. Ending “auto-pilot” behaviors; living and enjoying each moment.
