Practice
Description:
We
are here to experience and to grow. Life is about our relationship
with ourselves, our relationships with loved ones and friends, and
our relationship with the world around us. Each experience offers
us insight and gives us a chance to grow. People come for
counseling when life has challenged them and they want positive
change. If you are seeking counsel for yourself, you are already
demonstrating your awareness and your desire for change: two of
the most important factors for success.
I
focus on working with adults to clarify their specific issues and
goals, and help them to find lasting solutions. My counseling role
is to assist in your exploration, growth, and empowerment. The
process involves two intertwined paths: 1) Going deeper into who
you are and what you want – developing your life vision, and 2)
Exploring and dismantling the blocks and limitations that keep you
stuck in the old ways of being – freeing and expanding yourself.
Sometimes you develop the strength and character to meet the
challenge head-on and sometimes the issue falls away as you no
longer react to it in the same way. Either way your life is never
the same.
Each
person has a wealth of resources within. Some of those resources
are buried under years of past experiences, and years of seeing
and doing things a certain way. I use a variety of techniques to
help you regain those resources including writing, dialoguing,
artwork, hypnosis, guided imagery, drama, etc. My clients get a
powerful new sense of being a loving "head of household"
to the collection of wisdom, courage, desire, talents,
perspectives, and insight they embody. The counseling process also
includes numerous concrete activities, methods, and recipes to use
at home. The whole purpose is for the change to work in your real
life "out there."
There
are many techniques for learning to cope with and manage your
situation. Although it is your choice, my preference is to do the
deeper work to uncover the causes, and then heal and grow your way
to a new, better self and a better life. Clients have described
the work as "outgrowing the box I lived in",
"learning how to love and be loved", "leaving
behind all the old stuff", "growing soft but strong
emotional muscles", "feeling connected", and
"remembering who I am". The results of this work
relieves tension and anxiety, brings you closer in your
relationships, and helps you to create a more fulfilling life.
