My Approach to Helping
Depression and anxiety can feel like a burden, and grief and trauma can seem inescapable. Addictions and anger can make you feel like you have lost control. As a counselor, we hope to join you in caring about these problems as much as you do, and be able to find a path that leads out.
I believe much of counseling success depends on connection with you. To create this kind of momentum for change, we ask you for feedback on how the sessions are going. We start with establishing a desired outcome, and look at what behaviors or thoughts can lead to your desired outcomes. It is hopefully collaborative, innovative, and effective. Often, there is internal conflict between parts of yourself. One part of you may want this, and another part of you may want that. Sorting out our different and competing needs is important. We explore how you feel about your options, and listen closely to not only what you are needing, but whatever it is you may be fearing.
