Anxiety counseling is designed to help you overcome fears, worry, panic, compulsions, and the symptoms that come with anxiety. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your anxiety. I use a technique called processing and practicing. Processing is exploring the conscious and subconscious components that produce anxiety. Processing involves playing out the scenarios that bring you anxiety and exploring the roots behind it. Often we are unable to break free from the fear's, worries, negative self-talk and other aspects of anxiety. The practice portion will involve you using the tools I will give you to manage your anxiety.
All relationships have a uniqueness to them. Although you may have heard sex and money are the top two relationship conflicts, the biggest breakdown I see is communication.
Communication and compromise are the foundations I work from. I believe in equality in relationships and do not hold a bias toward either partner. I am fair, objective, and direct with the couples I work with. We will identify the patterns and communication breakdowns and work on the problematic behaviors. Although the past is important for understanding and some repair/healing, I am forward focused in creating changes and adjustments to guide your relationship to a better place.
Addiction comes in many forms, sex, alcohol, drugs, video games, relationships, gambling are just a few. Breaking away from the grips of substance abuse or other addictions is complex and one of the hardest struggles people will face throughout their life. Often it can take years of self-destruction and repeating the same cycles before there is enough motivation to try and break free. Once we know we can no longer control the grip it has on us it is time to break free from it. I am here to help you break free from your addictions.
Life coaching is about helping you get to that place you know you want to be but haven’t been able to achieve on your own. Life coaching has elements of therapy but is designed to help people establish goals, meaning, purpose, and direction in life. I can help you find that meaning and purpose you have been missing. Gaining meaning and purpose in your life will give you the happiness and joy you desire.
In my 20 years of working with parents of adult children, I have learned several common themes. The first is that there is a bond and love that will never go away no matter the dynamic of the relationship. The second is how to navigate the relationship from when they are a dependent to being independent. Am I still a parent, or a friend, or both? The third is about boundaries, parents are unsure of the role they should play or do play in the current relationship. This often can bring feelings of guilt or in some cases enabling behaviors. No matter what the situation is for you I will help you get to a place of peace and confidence in your relationship with your child.
