Therapeutic
Approach
I take a very Person-Centered approach to counseling. In a nutshell you, the client, are in control. I follow your lead as to the direction of our sessions. I always come into the session with a game-plan, but my main purpose is to be of service to you. If what I’m doing isn’t being helpful, we pivot and find the modality or intervention which will be of most benefit and bring about the most healing for you.
More than just “coffee talk.”
it is true that our sessions are conversational in nature and there is a very methodical purpose behind this. Clients and I build rapport, allowing us to uncover deep woundings that have led to years of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Negative thought patterns and poor behaviors are like Band-aids that cover up a bullet hole. Our deep conversations allow us to dig out the bullet, thereby removing the root cause behind the presenting problems.
