My Approach to Helping

My beginning point in working with people is to ask a very simple question, "how is this problem inviting you to change?" We are all in the business of adding, holding or subtracting parts of our lives and problems usually represent the last part of that sequence. We all move through this process in our own unique way and my job is to learn enough of how you do it to help you through. I stress your capabilities and creativity more than your limitations though I think our limitations and vulnerability hold an important part of our lives, especially in terms of connecting with other people. I work to provide you a place that is comfortable for you and a custom fit for you to make the change your problem is inviting you to make. Mine is a 'down to earth', 'lets talk it over' approach that is change and results oriented. I enjoy working with people and will welcome the opportunity to sit down with you to explore how I can help you solve your problem and help you navigate your current change to get you back on track with your life.
