Theraputic Process

Counseling provides the opportunity to work towards living a more satisfying life during times of distress, confusion, choice or change. This is achieved by giving you the respect, attention and time necessary to explore and clarify your resources, values, strengths, goals, abilities, and perspectives. I will ask questions, challenge you and offer ideas.

Counseling aims to facilitate not advise. The intention is not to prescribe solutions, but to assist you in using your own personal resources to examine your difficulties and the choices you have for dealing with those difficulties. With confidentiality and respect for your own perception of experience, you will be supported and guided towards finding your own solutions.

A central part of my work is creating a space of safe self-discovery. I offer an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance. Mine is a very personal approach that is tailored to your specific needs.

What Can I Expect?

As you become more empowered and effective in managing difficulty, we can explore:

* your current situational difficulties and what you want to change

* your preferred situation and what you need and want in place of what you have

* strategies for obtaining what you need and want

* and courses of action to take in order to manifest your desired changes.

Together we can enable you to tolerate uncertainty and gain confidence in your choices. You can feel more accepting of yourself and others, creating more satisfying and fulfilling relationships. You can make the choices and changes necessary to live a life with more emotional freedom and meaning.
