Counseling isn't magic. It's simply people talking with the aim of finding and navigating a better way.
My practice is fairly straight forward. I work to quickly help you identify or clarify your most significant concerns. Next, we’ll work together to help you refine or establish your goals. From there the aim is to develop strategies to help you meet those goals or aspirations. I’ll always work at your pace, but if you find yourself stuck, we’ll work to find practical and respectful ways to help you advance. Whether you hope to manage a problem behavior or if you're seeking deeper meaning in your life, my purpose is to help you achieve your goal in a way that's meaningful to you.
My approach is based on what's needed and I'm flexible with my technique as I learn what's helpful to you. My style is informal, but I take the work seriously, meaning I take you seriously. The point of seeking help is to address the concerns you can't share "out there." I provide a safe, comfortable environment where you can feel free to express or unburden yourself without fear of judgment or criticism.
