Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Stress left unchecked can produce anxiety.  Anxiety felt unchecked can result in various degrees of depression.  Acquiring professional help to deal with & work through your stress or anxiety is important to facilitate moving toward a centered & balanced state of mind. Stress management is essential for your life.  I am able to provide insight, tools & adaptable skills that you can put into your life to combat negative thoughts or problematic situations.

Boundaries are the counter stone of life & provide direction to others on how you want to be treated.

If you were asked what are your boundaries would you be able to definitively define them?    It is how others realize what you will or wouldn't  tolerate or the expectations you have for how you want to be treated.  Boundaries are your limits.  Developing & maintaining defined boundaries are needed to reduce stress and anxiety.  If you encounter others overstepping your limits then examining your boundaries or lack of them is extremely important.  I specialize in working to understand, develop, incorporate & maintain boundaries that will help you.  I work with you to define the difference between negotiable & non negotiable boundaries for your life. 

Having tools, skills & techniques to better cope with situations that may find there way into your life allows you to help yourself more efficiently when needed, instead of feeling helpless or hopeless.   Learning alternative ways to help yourself is critical for realignment of mind & body.  I can help you learn how to adapt new & healthy coping skills instead of turning to unhealthy & possibly harmful habits you may be using. I show you how to slow down & focus on the here & now instead of allowing your mind to wonder on negative thoughts.  Having healthy, useful & immediately applicable coping skills can be the difference from distress, panic & mental exhaustion to a centered, balanced & relaxed state of being.

Learning what is and isn't positive communication is essential to being understood, getting your point across to someone effectively & building healthy relationships.  Discover the difference between talking with someone vs. talking at them.  If you have ever wondered why what you are saying is not received well or is being taken negatively then it is time to uncover what you may be doing in order to modify your delivery.  If you have tried to get your point across to someone & the conversation resulted in an argument, resentment or frustration, let me help you.  

Life situations present themselves daily & how you deal with them will vary with what perspective you have.  Having someone to help you maneuver through the difficult times can make the difference from confusion & uncertainty to clarity & developing a direction that works positively.  Acquiring the insight & tools are powerful building blocks for a forward focused path.   Floundering through life is nonproductive & can produce a paralyzed thought process which creates stress & anxiety.  In many situations it can result in feeling unmotivated & unproductive.  Having a healthy way to reality check what is getting in the way of developing a realistic path toward your goal & working toward an outcome are key components to success.  I would like to help you move in a productive direction toward the success you are seeking.
