We have come to our real work,
And when we no longer know which way to go
We have begun our real journey.
-Wendell Berry
Individual counseling helps us better prepare to engage in our lives. When we know ourselves more fully, we are able to make our way in the world with more confidence. When we know our emotional system—its strengths, triggers, blind spots, and reactivity—we are better equipped to relate with ourselves and others. Oftentimes we carry around beliefs we developed as children that no longer work for us and even prevent us from living fuller lives. In counseling, we challenge our old patterns and practice new skills. We question and examine our thinking and emotions and also the way we share them with others.
I work with people to build confidence in their ability to create, sustain and nurture relationships present and future. I support people in better sharing their experiences and difficulties with the most important people in their lives as well as identifying ways for them to get the support and communication they need. Working together we will identify habits and patterns that have sabotaged your efforts in the past. We will work to strengthen self concepts and heal wounds from previous and on-going relationships so you can move forward in your life with support and confidence.
