Sometimes we try to decide how something should be before actually experiencing it; our journey through counseling will help redirect and ground any preconceived notions of how to experience life. For counseling to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing counseling goals and assessing progress towards a state of positive mental health. As a person centered therapist, rather than analyzing what is wrong with you or subjecting your feelings and behaviors to analytical interpretation, I give you the room to access your own wisdom so I can support you with navigating and finding solutions to life’s problems.
Depending on your individual needs, I will tailor the treatment to you by merging therapy practices with your hobbies and daily activities. Homework may be utilized at times to focus on methods of self-discovery and expression. Sessions will focus on subjects such as: self-awareness, choice, meaning of life, strengths/limitations, acceptance, and change.
I strive to provide a space to allow you to grow and become the best version of yourself. I will challenge you in a caring and empathetic manner to look at yourself in a kind way. I remind you to seek alternative options and strategies for handling life. Expect a lot of penguin and nerd-based references. We can shape this space to seek your authentic self.
