My Approach to Helping
I love helping my clients live genuine lives in harmony with what they feel is best for themselves and their particular circumstances. I believe that by finding the areas in our lives that are stuck and removing the blocks that bind us, we can free ourselves to express our own truths and be more present in our lives. As a counselor, I am honored to accompany my clients on their search for authenticity.
My style of counseling is informed by several philosophies, including humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, attachment, and experiential.
What this means is that I believe all human beings instinctively know what healthy means for them and can reach their full potential if only they can discover what is keeping them from that goal. I also believe that many people seek counseling because of issues around certain givens of life such as loss, lack of meaning, separation or disconnection from others (or the self), the anxiety of choice, and the inevitability of “unchoosing” one thing in order to choose another.
I work primarily in the here-and-now experience, mirroring and bringing to light aspects of your life, your Self, and your relationships that may be hidden or out of your awareness—the blocks, if you will. This process requires a focus on how you experience your world. We will access and examine your felt sense of the world so you can be more genuine within yourself and with others.
