Individual Counseling

Individual Counseling

I work with people experiencing:
Depression and Anxiety
Past Childhood Abuse or Trauma
Low Self-esteem
Life Transitions
Problems in their Relationship or Marriage
Parenting Issues
Personal Growth and Self Discovery
Specializing in separation and divorce recovery

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad or stuck? Are you unsure of what to do or where to turn? I can to help you begin move away from what you don’t want and move toward the life you do want. Together we can identify the areas where you feel stuck or unhappy, and begin to move you towards healing and positive change.

Some of the approaches I use in counseling are:
Looking at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, how they influence the way you see your world. Working toward ending self-criticism and low self-worth, identifying how to create healthy satisfying relationships and gaining tools to manage and resolve conflict. I see my role as not only as an empathetic non-judgmental listener, but also as an educator, helping people understand what healthy functioning relationships look like.

Some of the benefits people have experienced:
Decrease in sadness and anxiety
Increased ability to handle and manage stress
Increase in overall happiness
Identifying and creating loving relationships, recognizing dysfunctional ones
Reclaiming, rebuilding self after separation or divorce
Putting more self into one’s life without feeling selfish.
Less sleepwalking through life and more awareness, aliveness and connection
More patience and peace in parenting
Renewing, reconnecting to dreams

My counseling approach is strength-based, meaning I believe you have the strengths and resources for your own empowerment and I honor your position as the expert in your life. Through our work together you will build a strong foundation, a deep sense of knowing of who you are and what you stand for, that will allow you to meet the stresses and challenges in your life with strength and clarity. The beauty of living from a place of strength is that you are no longer easily shaken by the complexities in your everyday world. You come to see your world clearly, and you are able to move through it from a position of respect and power.
