My belief is that we all have the capacity to make meaningful change and grow at any time in our lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. I also believe that we are not our past and we have the strength , skills and ability within us address issues of our past and overcome them to function successfully on our current life. As a social worker I am very knowledgeable in the field with respect to resources, services available as well as insights into difficulties and stress effecting current functioning. I am able to utilize many areas of practice to address issues, locate resources and promote meaningful and lasting change with the individuals and families.
