Does your pre-teen/teen seem to be struggling more than in the past? Is your family life being affected? Is your own life getting more difficult to manage? Do you frequently feel anxious or down? If so, I think I can help.
When someone starts therapy, I’m aware that they’ve tried to solve their problems on their own and been unsuccessful and are oftentimes feeling badly and vulnerable. I try to be as gentle as possible and help people understand that the vast majority of their feelings are normal and manageable. I utilize strong people skills to help my clients feel as comfortable and safe as possible. When appropriate, I share my life-experiences as a means of helping people explore their deepest thoughts, feelings, and struggles. I’ve found that this helps people seek different and frequently more effective ways of coping with life’s challenges.
I believe that my education has provided me with the necessary “book knowledge,” which I couple with over eleven years experience as a therapist and eighteen years in the “helping professions,” to develop a counseling experience that is custom tailored to the needs of my clients. This often means that I do “what works,” while being cautious to work in a professional manner, utilizing mainstream techniques that have been shown to be helpful.
Please give me a call to see if I’m the right therapist for you.
