Adults

The decision to seek counseling and psychotherapy can be motivated by many things.

  • Are you struggling with anxiety or depression and looking for an avenue for change?
  • Are you stuck in your efforts to better yourself and your life?
  • Has someone you trust asked you to look more carefully at yourself and you decisions?
  • Is anger getting the best of you?
  • Are you dealing with a significant loss of a loved one or relationship?
  • Are you questioning your marriage?
  • Are you weathering a personal or professional transition?
  • Is parenting overwhelming or challenging you?
We will begin with you sharing how you perceive your difficulties have developed over time. As my client you would be my window into your world as we begin to create a clearer picture of what motivates your actions as well as explore your feelings. This is the first step toward change. I want to know what you are hoping to have happen in our work together and in your life.  It is my job to listen, carefully assess what you have told me and share that with you. I will recommend a tailored plan of action that may include one or a combination of the following:

Counseling:  Including support, advice, cognitive restructuring, behavioral training, or education leading to better understanding, self acceptance and success.

Psychotherapy: A shared relational process of self exploration involving uncovering your motivations not clearly seen or understood on your own, leading  to deeper understanding, new self awareness, and lasting personal change. One focus is what is happening in the moment as a reflection of a larger personal process. 

Medical intervention:  If necessary I work closely with a physician or other health care professional to address a neuro-chemical imbalance which I perceive will not resolve without the use of medications. Rarely does medication alone fully resolve the problem you are seeking help for.

My assessment and recommendation may include a referral to another professional who has expertise in assessing and/or treating your problem.  It is important you get the treatment you want and need.
