Life is a journey but there are times along the way that can be bumpy or full of pot holes. How do you handle times like these? Would you like to learn new strategies or techniques to manage these times and get back to your journey? You have found the right place. I would like to help you get back to your journey. Taking care of your mental health is very important to your physical health. Did your know chronic loneliness can cause inflammation through out your body, damage your heart and lungs as well as an increase depression and anxiety? Therapy is a great tool to a healthy mind and body. Call me today.
I believe a strong foundation for mental health consists of three things; a healthy self esteem, self compassion and mindfulness. Research has shown how important self compassion is to a happy life. Unfortunately society does not support self compassion as we are told we are selfish, self absorbed or weak if we are compassionate to ourselves.
I have been a Social Worker for 30 yrs with experience in working with individuals with traumatic brain injuries, mental health issues, individuals in crisis and individuals wanting to improve their mental health. We have all had events in our lives which have caused us pain, depression, anxiety or grief so you are not alone, support is one call away.
