Maintaining Good Mental Health
Good mental health includes a healthy body and skills to manage one's particular life circumstances.
Research into brain function, as well as social and evolutionary psychology, provides a foundation for understanding behavior. Many of the ways that human beings behave and respond to their environment is automatic and outside of awareness. Our natural human tendencies can sometimes become problematic. Realizing these tendencies allows us to focus on changes that are the most beneficial for each of us.
I enjoy helping clients assess the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that work well for them and those that do not. Together we identify problem areas as well as their strengths, then determine appropriate goals for therapy and work collaboratively to achieve them.
