Many people have found that counseling does not yield the results they desire. They often come to me after seeing other counselors complaining that all the other therapist did was listen and nod. I approach counseling with the awareness that you are ultimately responsible for the changes you will make during therapy. This focus guides the therapy process from goal setting to completion of therapy.
Changes are cooperated upon according to your desires, values and abilities. After an initial time of focused goal setting, I make a point to create a light and often humorous environment while at the same time challenging you to take a more an active role in improving your life and the therapy process. Therapy is a mixture of support and confrontation.
You will be educated, challenged and supported as you make changes in your life. Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused strategies are combined to identify the best methods for your life. Interested in solutions you can try now?
