Q "No matter how slow, how small, or how wobbly, forward is forward and every step counts."
I love this saying. Life, relationships, careers can all feel overwhelming at times and it's easy to start believing that change is impossible or just too hard. It doesn't have to be that way and slow starts (like calling for an appointment) can be that first step. I've been treating clients for over 30 years and have witnessed the growth and changes made by many courageous clients (who didn't necessarily start out that way). It's what keeps me loving what I do. I approach clients with an array of options for treatment.
Some want a Cognitive Behavioral approach. Others may benefit just from affirmation and support. Some want to pursue traumas based on events from the past and a journey through childhood may be the path taken. "Couples" come in many forms, genders, marriage, partnerships. The goal is usually to improve communication and a sense of connection.
I work with clients 35 and older. I enjoy working with an often neglected Senior population as they explore life stages, This often involves various types of loss, illness, and anxiety about the future. I have worked in the hospice field and comfortable helping people through illness and loss. I would be happy to meet with you to see if we are a good fit.
