What do you think of the saying “you are not your thoughts”? Our brains can create so many thoughts, some of which are helpful while others bring us pain and suffering. Consider me as a guide to help you separate from unhelpful thoughts and generate new, more balanced and helpful self talk. Would you like to learn how to be in control of, or manage your emotions, rather than hide them or say something you later wish you didn't? It can be hard to make changes to our behaviors. I can help you use your strengths to create positive, effective, and lasting changes. By understanding your strengths, values and passions, we can develop effective strategies to help you achieve your goals. There is only one of you. Together, we can discover ways for you to have more choices and be your best self. Do you want to know about me and my experience? I have been a therapist/social worker for over 25 years in many different outpatient settings. When I am not working, I love to exercise outdoors and spend time with family and friends. May you be safe, happy, healthy, and live with ease.
