“Happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.”
Dale Carnegie
What I Do I help people successfully and positively make it through challenging life experiences. In a way you could call me a specialist in habit change. It is by changing negative habits of thoughts, habits of feelings, and habits of behaviors into positive habits of: positivity, hopefulness, appreciation, openness to learning what is possible, and the habit of choosing to focus more on what you do want and less on what you don't. This is how you create happiness and optimal outcomes.
Adjustment issues may be felt as tension, stress, mild to moderate anxiousness, tiredness, unusually sadness, difficulty sleeping--things like that.
People who have a strong commitment to life. Who believe in the future, but are finding the present difficult. I work with people who want to adjust after taking a life hit, to return to their best self, and even to thrive beyond adversity.
I work with people who basically like themselves, but something-- some important piece of the puzzle--is missing. A piece of confidence, or well-being, or good health.
Maybe....Maybe your are experiencing a painful divorce or personal loss. You believe you will be happy again, but it is hard right now.
Maybe you are really good at your job but are finding yourself feeling anxiety in some situations, especially those times when you need to make strong presentations or a good impression. You know what you are capable of but are having panicky reactions that are frustrating.
Maybe you have enjoyed good health for most of your life, but now have to come to terms with a medical condition. You believe the mind body connection is powerful, and want to learn how to use your own inner resources for optimal health and comfort.
If you believe that your distress is likely temporary, but there is a piece of the healing or confidence or good health puzzle that you just haven't been able to take hold of, you may find counseling very helpful in making more rapid progress in reaching your goal of feeling good.
If you are seeking support, insight, knowledge, and skill in returning to a bright and happy future, then you we may work really well together.
If you are not sure if I can be helpful in your particular situation, please contact me. If I am not the best resource for you, I am happy to make some recommendations.
"We must simply have faith in the rhythms of change: the gifts of life are inevitably followed by loss, which is just as inevitably followed by renewal. Life is not meant to be carefully planned and ever familiar-we must trust that we will survive strange journeys." Sanctuary: Gardening For The Soul
