Individual Counseling
Adapted to your particular situation, history, and priorities
Here Are Some Common Challenges I HelP With:
-
Changes following a major life transition
-
Grief following a loss
-
Attachment: difficulty staying connected in relationships or overwhelming fear of losing one.
-
Challenges with sleep, appetite, energy, or concentration.
-
Emotional regulation: having a strong emotional reaction to seemingly small stressors or feeling detached and unable to identify emotions.
-
Distressing memories connected with painful or traumatic experiences.
-
Worry, anxiety, and inability to physically relax.
-
Circular or "stuck" thinking patterns.
You Can Expect To:
-
Identify related "clusters" of thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors that are making life difficult.
-
Pinpoint past experiences where these yucky clusters developed.
-
Carefully process through past experiences that are at the root of the problem, addressing the thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and reactions that are related.
-
Learn and use some new strategies for becoming aware of and objectively stepping back from cluster experiences.
-
Develop more helpful ways of viewing yourself and others.
-
Talk about the here and now and address any cluster experiences that are rooted in the present (not the past).
-
Develop lots of compassion for yourself and others.
-
Feel increasingly resilient, connected, and capable.
