Have you ever thought...
-
Most things in my life are going well, but there are one or two issues holding me back
-
I'd like to develop greater insight and awareness of “what makes me tick”
-
I want to change some things in my life, like thinking patterns, relationships, or behaviors, but I'm unsure how to do it
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide what is commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” which is based on the belief that a person can develop new insights, self-awareness, and skills by exploring various topics with a counselor.
My approach to therapy is to “hold up the mirror” and support my clients to see themselves from a fresh, new perspective. Sometimes, the goal isn't always to feel better, but rather, to get better at feeling. As a result, therapy might be a place to vent, but it might also mean:
-
Exploring strengths and resilience
-
Recognizing patterns in thinking and behaving and, at times, challenging those patterns
-
Identifying strategies to reduce painful emotions and self-judgement
-
Discovering ways to increase positive emotions and feelings of empowerment
