Life can be challenging or uncertain at times. When you feel overwhelmed or unprepared for a life challenge, it may be good to seek support of a trained professional.
I am a psychologist in private practice specializing in marriage/relationship, mental health and mind/body relationships.
Mind & Body Relationship Psychology
Typically, humans are characterized as having both a mind (non-physical) and body/brain (physical). This is known as dualism. Dualism is a view that mind & body both exist as separate entities.
Mind - Body health connection
Through the mind-body health connections our thoughts and emotions can play a central role in all aspects of our health. Research shows that by taking care of our psychological well-being, we can sometimes prevent medical illness and often speed our recovery when we do get sick.
Attitudes, beliefs and emotional states ranging from love and compassion to fear and anger can trigger chain reactions that affect blood chemistry, heart rate and the activity of every cell and organ in the body; from the stomach and digestive tract to the immune system.
Emotions can also affect your body's reaction to stress and strains, which can cause head and backaches and other physical problems.
We can help ourselves to stay healthy by paying attention to our emotional and mental states - including worries, outlook and moods.
At DIVINE ORDER PSYCH SERVICES we treat the whole person by:
" Addressing the stresses we face particularly when illness occurs
" Speeding recovery from illness
" Lessening pain and discomfort
" Enable partners and families to better cope with illness
Marriage/ Relationships
Relationships require work and are bound to face challenges large and small. Simple everyday stressors can strain an intimate relationship, and major sources of stress may threaten the stability of the relationship.
When challenges are left unaddressed, tension mounts, poor habits develop and health and longevity of the relationship are in jeopardy.
Problems such as anxiety, loss, depression, poor self-esteem and difficulty in complex relationships can be solved given the right mix of time, talk and support.
Most people I see are grateful for the relief and valuable insight they gain into their own situations.
In this process I bring to bear 22 years of experience working with adults and couples.
My integrative approach coupled with the Demartini Method can help you attain your goals.
