2021 is right around the bend and is sure to be a great year! With it will come new challenges and I am here to help you get and stay mentally healthy. Mental wellness is a fluid thing. One day you can be flowing along and then, without warning, the world around you shifts. Or perhaps something inside you shifts. Either way, change in life IS the only constant right? And that’s where I come in: I teach the skills of resilience needed to be your best in today’s world, and on YOUR terms. Sometimes it’s to make others happy, but most of all it is to help yourself be happy. What do I believe is the foundation to mental wellness? A more trusting, loving relationship with oneself. When you slow down to know and honor yourself, you become happier, no matter what else frustrates you about the world ‘out there’. Problems that can’t be ‘fixed’ are accepted and you focus your energies and talents where change can occur. I work with clients using DCT, an integrative blend of theories and therapies, and most importantly I deeply respect our working partnership. I will help you help yourself, which is what leads to positive change. For example, I consider developmental, genetic, spiritual, social and cognitive emotional issues. I am trained to be sensitive to all cultures.
