Counseling is often thought of as something “weak people” turn to or something to use when you’re “going crazy”.  In reality, counseling is a process that helps people deal with the problems that occur with living our day-to-day lives through interactions with a trained professional.  When life feels difficult or stressful, it often helps to talk with a person who listens well – to have a place where you can be heard and understood in a way that makes a difference.  Counseling is that place.

​

Counseling is an active, collaborative process that can help you explore what’s working well in your life and what you want to be different.  I’ll be a receptive, non-judgmental listener who helps you to:

​

• work through the questions your bring

• gain perspective on relationships, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors

• say what’s on your mind

• express your thoughts and feelings

• talk openly about your hopes, fears, dreams and worries

• look at behaviors and thought patterns that work for you and those that you might want to change
