The hamster wheel of thoughts never stopping…

“This will never change!” We tend to believe our thoughts and give our emotions power over us.
For example, Amy finds herself distracted at home and work, and feeling sad more than before. She is more nervous in social situations and feels agitated with things that generally did not affect her in the past.

Amy notices her thoughts have become louder and more intrusive. They are difficult to shut off. She talks less with her co-workers and hasn’t met up with her friends like she used to. Amy feels sad.

Amy argues more with her partner and has a short temper with her son.

Amy’s appetite has changed. She eats at her frustrations one day and has no appetite when feeling anxious. Her mood fluctuates rapidly, and she does not complete her projects at work as efficiently as she used to.

Amy feels stuck.

When our stuck thoughts become our reality…

Thoughts are just thoughts. Emotions are just emotions. They are neither good nor bad.

I support adults and children in Northern California to learn healthier ways to manage some of their emotions and thoughts that may have contributed to depressive or anxiety symptoms.

I provide strategies to change the unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that no longer service you. You can learn to regulate your emotions, to tolerate distress in healthier ways, to communicate with your partner or children differently.

Finding ways to manage some of these ongoing symptoms can lead to a higher quality of life and experiences.

Start making changes today. Choose you.

Choose calmness and balance in your life with a supportive and goal-oriented therapist.

Connect with yourself, connect with others. Learn to be present, to be fully engaged with what is in front of you and what you can be experiencing.

If you are looking for healthier ways to manage depression and anxiety, I can help. If you are seeking balance, calmness, and a healthier sense of self, I can help.
