Many clients seek counseling because they can not resolve on-going problems. They repeat the same unproductive behaviors over and over without avail. They know they need to change, want to change, but don't know how to start.
In therapy sessions, with unconditional support from me, a client can gain new perspectives, and can be inspired to try out new ideas to tackle their problems, right in a session.
When a solution is viscerally experienced, permanent shift comes about that can last a lifetime.
An Example of a Session
A client was overwhelmed with work and his personal relationship. In our sessions, he became aware that he had a deep fear of failure. He experimented with role-playing; he tried requesting a job raise, and he simulated asking his spouse for more sexual intimacy. He experienced the process of respecting and expressing his goals and wishes. Then he tried them out in real life, with a confidence that no matter what the outcome, he is a complete and whole person.
Please feel free to call and make an appointment for a free initial consultation to see if I can be of help to you.
