Welcome

Thank you for visiting NECESSARY CHOICES. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I believe that none of us goes through our life unscathed. Our journey, filled with unpredictable events and times of change, can cause us to feel lost, confused, frightened or angry. Our ability to see the whole picture may be clouded and our perspective narrowed.

Are you feeling:

  • Anxious, depressed or sad trying to get on course with the direction of your life?
  • Overwhelmed or grieving from a major life transition?
  • Stuck in repeating self-defeating patterns of behavior?
  • Struggling with important relationships at home or at work?
  • Pained from a past or present traumatic experience?

Working together, we will identify the NECESSARY CHOICES you may be facing and discover what is truly in your best interests. I can help you open up to the next steps on your path to the life you want. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, I provide a safe, respectful and reflective atmosphere to support you in this healing process.

“Every minute of our lives
we make choices for which we are responsible.
Even in silence, we make choices.”

A Necessary Choice is when we:

  • Make an active choice based on our core values. This means an investment in the choice we’ve made
  • Decide something must be changed because we can no longer accept the way things are
  • Change our attitude and behavior when faced with a life-changing transition
  • Recognize that old and outdated protective and habitual self-defeating behaviors need to be updated
  • Remove the barriers that disconnect us from our priorities in life

A Necessary Choice reflects our intention to enrich and respond in our lives, rather than simply reacting to our circumstances. Necessary Choices center our awareness and increase the chances (potential) of cultivating the outcomes we desire.

What makes a Choice Necessary?

Focusing on Necessary Choices will help you discover what is getting in your way and how you might be getting in your own way. You will gain clarity so that you can commit to a defined and authentic path. As you draw from your courage, confidence and wisdom, you will be present, aligned and balanced in your Necessary Actions. Thus, you will have inner peace, contentment and deep fulfillment. The choices we make define the lives we live!

The greatest power that a person possesses
is the power to choose.”
