So much of our day is spent in our own heads. Thoughts come up, rattle around our minds and rebound off each other. It can be hard to draw any firm conclusions.
The appeal of counseling is that it gives space for these thoughts to air, to come out fully formed, and to grow into something larger. No longer repetitive or snippet thoughts, but nice long threads. As part of my personal philosophy I stay curious about the world and the people that make it up. We are as diverse in our personalities and perspectives as we are in our cultures and outward traits.
Humans are complex beings. We are never complete, but always in process.
In counseling you get to spend an hour with a professional trained in helping draw out those thought threads. A professional who is empathetic, remains present with you, and after getting to know you and your concerns can offer informed counsel.
My background is a broad mix of experience, study, and areas of interest. I have knowledge in therapy, history, business, social work, child development, meditation, neuroscience, sociology, philosophy, and spirituality. I do not use one single therapeutic approach, but customize and adapt counseling to suit my client’s personality and needs.
Anxiety, depression, work-life balance, mental health issues, they are all part of the human experience.
