In the first session we will discuss why you have come to counseling as well as your goals for counseling. In following sessions, you will learn new techniques to cope with struggles and shift your perspective in a direction that promotes personal growth and strengthens self confidence.

Each session lasts for approximately 50 minutes. Weekly sessions are usually the most beneficial, but I see some clients every other week. If you are in a crisis or in extreme distress, I may see you more than once a week until the crisis passes.

There are many benefits to counseling. You may be experiencing a problem and find yourself so consumed by it that you have lost perspective. Counseling can help you get back in touch with your values, redirect you, offer feedback, and give you a safe place to process thoughts and emotions.

My results-focused counseling style paired with your active participation can quickly empower you with tools, skills, and knowledge needed to take life-improving actions. You can learn simple techniques to change your interpretation of events which can lead to a new view of your past, present, and future. My commitment is that you live your life powerfully in all areas, and I will work with you to transform what does not work into new areas of opportunity.

People tend to take away only as much as they put into the counseling process. It is important that you put the tools and ideas discussed in session into practice in your daily life, building new habits and strengths, so you can have lasting improvements.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. CBT is based on the Cognitive Model of Emotional Response. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel / act better even if the situation does not change.
