There is no quick fix or easy answer to your problems. The solutions are found within you if you are willing to do the work to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Therapy allows you to have a safe place to process issues that can cause discomfort, become distressing, and disrupt your life. Some issues might be overwhelming and too difficult to confront alone. Counseling is client-centered and respectful of cultural differences. Therapy is conducted from a systems-based perspective. Focus is on improving communication, recognizing and developing individual capacity, and managing internal and external conflict. I value people's experiences and strengths. I like to build on what is working and evaluate what is not working. We often develop ways of coping with problems that served us in the past, except this approach is no longer working in the present. This means that something needs to shift or change. Therapy offers you the support to challenge and re-write the narrative in your life that is no longer working for you. Learn to respond rather than react to what distresses you. Therapy can provide the tools to help you manage the ebb and flow of life.
