Are you constantly being diverted into several different directions in your work and personal life? Are you struggling to increase your billable hours while dealing with the myriad needs of your family?  Are you stressed to the point of lacking the focus necessary to operate at peak efficiency to make your yearly bonuses? Are you succeeding in the goals you have set for yourself? Do you have an action plan to achieve these goals? Do these questions sound overwhelming to you?  

Adaptive Thinking was formed to address the things that keep you from being the most effective executive, professional, and person that you can be.

Who do you trust to with your thoughts?

I have been licensed for 22+years.  In that time I have found myself working with individuals, entrepreneurs, executives, physicians, lawyers, families, kids in crisis, athletes and even people who have made bad decisions, really bad decisions and ended up in prison.  I have worked with people like you who want to be more empowered, to understand what holds them back, to understand why things just seem to keep happening to them. People who want/need to make a change to be more effective at work and more responsive in their relationships. Living life with intent is a lot more rewarding than being a spectator on the bench.

I am a Ph.D. level psychologist, who will work with you to effect the change you want in your life.  I can tell you that I have a cognitive behavioral perspective with a psychodynamic orientation, but what you really want to know is can I help?  The answer to that is, “it depends on you.”  My job is to help you become effective in the way you want to be effective and that requires your participation.   If you are willing to participate… I am willing to work with you.

I have learned that convenience is important to clients.  We will work with each other via video/phone.  You can be at your home or your office or even on vacation and we can still tackle things together. Rather than spending time commuting to an office, I want you thinking and practicing the things we discuss. This is how change can occur.

Change might start with a simple Blog.

A catalyst for change.... requires the willingness to explore.

A path

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE

Have you found yourself struggling to make decisions and then being upset you didn’t get what you want?  It’s easy to make excuses like “Frank is the favorite at work;” or “Things always seem to work out for Missy.”   I can’t do “blank” because I have a handicap.  Or “I’ve tried to do it before and I failed.”  Jealousy, envy, and self-pity are some of the trappings when you don’t take responsibility for your life.  It’s unattractive and unproductive. But it doesn't have to be this way...

LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT

PRIORITIZATION

Suppose you are a lawyer at a high-powered practice and you are working to make partner or getting your midyear bonus and you get hit with the news that your ailing parent needs medical care and might be terminal, a friend wants you to attend a wedding, you have clients wanting a face-to-face meeting in a different state, and your daughter’s graduation is right in the middle of all of it. You are a little freaked out as to how you will get it all done. All of this just seems to be happening to you. Such pressure will probably cause you to become defocused so that nothing seems to be getting done. Loose ends everywhere! What do you do?

Awareness

WE CREATE OUR OPPOSITES

Have you ever gotten frustrated with someone because they aren’t responding to you?  People often find themselves in relationships with other people that feel one-sided.  It might be that you get quiet and take a back seat when the other person is speaking.  Or you might notice (if you take a minute to observe) that the people around you seem passive or dependent. Do you know why?
