As a clinical Psychologist and Health Service Provider in Psychology I believe in a relationship that is honest, interactive, supportive, and and compassionate, as well as challenging. It is important for me to combine support with reality-based challenge that can help change problem behaviors and habits that focus on fears rather than reality-based facts and optimism. Over the years, I developed collaborative methods that allow my patients to include in their work with me their family members and friends who may have important perspectives in the problem or the solutions. Members of the team can also include health and mental healt
I treat mental health problems and coach patients to develop skills that are needed to enhance life. (Pessimism, hopelessness, and passivity maintain problems). Learned Optimism and active problem solving allow for change. We will use physical, verbal, and emotional tools to increase the energy and mental and emotional capacity to live intentionally NOW.
Living with intention: Body sensation, breathing techniques, mindfulness and sense of humor are valuable tools I use to help my patients add meaning to the. The change happens when we start noticing and experiencing gratitude, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness for self and others. I see problems as opportunities to learn and expand reality.
