I have over 20 years of independent counseling experience working with adults who have all types of mental health concerns, including anxiety, mood disorders, effects of trauma, and those who have abused or become dependent upon drugs and/or alcohol. I have also worked extensively with family members and other codependents of those clients. The heart of counseling is listening to you and arriving at the best possible understanding of your concerns. This starts a process of experiencing and accepting your feelings and thoughts. From this place , we can look at the changes you truly want to make.
Among the key elements of the work my clients do in treatment are developing and employing strategies for change. The work may center on management of stress, development of support systems, and/or relapse prevention - including dealing with triggers, challenging feelings and cravings, and learning when to ask for help.
My approach is integrative and person-centered. Which methods we will use depend on your personality and the issues you present. With couples and families, the key is often establishing healthy communication- so that behavior doesn't communicate for us- and finding effective ways to resolve conflicts and accept differences.
