“Most of us can easily think of the obvious benefits to counseling but a mental/emotional investment is required to reap those benefits. Unfortunately there is no magic wand or magic pill and as a therapist I cannot “fix” anyone. But…I can teach you how to use your thoughts for your success rather than your destruction. I can show you how your thoughts can be used as the steering wheel of your emotions and behavior. I can help you understand the healing power of feeling your feelings rather than trying to think them away. I can help you acquire and employ cognitive and behavioral strategies that will facilitate better communication and improve the relationship with yourself and those around you.”
“We live in a “drive-thru” society in which instant gratification has become the norm and often expected. I cannot guarantee instant relief from mental and emotional distress however I will provide a therapeutic approach that is supportive, healing and fosters long-term gratification with self and others.”
