Hakuna Matata. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor both in Tennessee and next in Texas. Houston Christian University is where I received a Masters of Arts in Psychology over 17 years ago. My favorite clients are contemporaries who are experiencing issues with aging parents and have difficult decisions to make concerning end-of-life care and/or the grieving that often follows those tough choices. Mental fitness includes acceptance of ones choices made during traumatic life phases. Enjoying a life of integrity many times is a choice one must make. I want to help you with that. Hakuna Matata means "don't worry, be happy!" That's a choice.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Together we will learn about each others past experiences and develop a plan to move forward. Planning is our most valuable tool while understanding most plans are useless. It is the ability to make the plans, and then, change them as we go to fit the ever-changing circumstances that is the real goal. Again, mental flexibility will be our highest achievement.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Work in senior life groups showed me the benefits we get from connecting with others during life crises. Talking about these problems lessens the anxiety (fear of the future) as well as depression (regret over the past). Listening to others' problems is my greatest strength, followed by hearing what they say and finally, seeing the situation from their perspective. Validation is a powerful first step toward healing and change.
