Orientation &
Approach
| I believe what I can offer clients is insight,
encouragement, honest direct feedback, kindness, support, new skills,
and customer service. My orientation is organic to the counseling
session, shaped by individual client needs, the therapeutic
relationship we establish, and existential, narrative, and cognitive
behavioral approaches to counseling. To me, therapy is a collaborative
process between my clients and myself. Periodically, I encourage a
client to speak up about any changes they would like to make
concerning therapy: how often we meet, whether the client would like
to continue or not, and how I might serve them better. In my
experience with people, I have come to recognize the exquisite
uniqueness of each individual and their life circumstances. I invite
my clients’ wholeness into our sessions—their strengths, talents,
humor, interests, and preferences as well as areas they see as
problematic or in need of change.

Personal
Comments
| I have great respect for those who are willing to put
the time, effort, and emotional work into making their lives more
satisfying. I believe that counseling can contribute to this endeavor
because it offers a regular time for self examination, feedback,
exploration of options, and skill building. I have dedicated my life
to being of service and a positive change agent to others. What this
means is that I do my own inner and outer work, both professionally
and personally, hoping this work will be reflected in the sessions I
provide to others as well as in my own life. I
welcome clients who choose to work in the context of spiritual beliefs
and practices and have specific knowledge of Eastern Spiritual
Traditions, Christianity, Meditation, and the Practice of Yoga.
However, I support the right of individuals to choose beliefs (or not)
in matters of spirituality. |
