SERVICES I OFFER

The majority of my clients are extremely hard-working, overwhelmingly over-achieving, individuals whom hold high expectations of themselves but unwittingly forget or don’t realize how exceptional they are. They have run into a hard place in their lives and need encouragement and new ideas. Many individuals are so hard on themselves that instead of addressing problems differently, and finding new ways to move forward, they get caught in a trap of negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves.
My approach is focused on what actually helps people meet extreme challenges and manage and regulate emotional distress in order to implement meaningful change. I integrate many philosophies of counseling including evidence based treatments that have shown the greatest success with specific issues. My background and education allows me the flexibility to see things from your perspective, use analogies and metaphors that help you to grasp the situation in your best way and therefore more easily succeed in coping and changing what is not working. I listen to you and flexibly determine what strategies could bring you the most transformation and healing in your unique situation.
I am more directive than I was when I began as a counselor many years ago. My clients and extensive experience has taught me that by the time an individual or couple is reaching out for support, devoting the time and effort, in the midst of stressful circumstances, they have already sought information and resources that are available to them. They are ready for change and transformation from the daily difficulties they are facing. When ready to ease suffering and begin healing in their lives they are motivated and ready to hear new ideas, exercises and methods to try NOW and thus facilitate improvement and healing as soon as possible.
