The world is focused on the health, social and economic ravages of COVID-19—and yet humans can only control one's own internal world of emotions, thoughts and behaviors. When these are unbalanced, we experience anxiety, depression and perhaps externalizing symptoms such as addictions and relationship conflict. The added stress of the pandemic may make it more difficult to cope than usual. This may be an opportunity to do much needed work on the most important relationship you have—the one with yourself! How else will all the other important relationships in your life be healthy and rewarding? You be the change!

Life can be challenging and unpredictable. We try to control what happens around us as well as those around us. We may begin to realize that we have no control over anything other than our own responses. Therapy is a gateway to discovering our inner world and once we begin to draw our attention inward, we can learn to RESPOND instead of REACT to life’s challenges. I am a proud social worker with over 6 years of combined experience in community case management and outpatient counseling. I have dedicated my career to providing support and care to others, ensuring they feel seen, safe, and heard during challenging circumstances.
