Life is too short to let the everyday burdens we face create turmoil, and gain control over our emotions. Our feelings can control us or we can learn to control them. A situation, person, place, or thing only has the power to control our feelings...if we let it. It is our responsibility (and only ours) to control our feelings and behavior. Thus, we can find true contentment and serenity.
Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioral therapies are my practice methodologies. I believe a blend of validation and empathetic, compassionate confrontation is the key to helping an individual reach their fullest potential.
I believe we all have the ability to change and to cope with change. Believing in my patients and encouraging this behavior has helped me succeed by becoming the agent for this change.
