How I Can Help
My Approach to Coaching & Counseling Change
Change is always a positive event in our life, no matter how it initially appears to us. It is our responsibility to release what no longer serves us, understand how we will be changed by the process, and to emerge stronger, wiser and more flexible to all of life’s challenges.
I explore how to work with change as a personal growth process in your life.
My Treatment Focus
- Creating an understanding of the process for effectively managing change.
- Assistance in understanding and utilizing the three phases of change.
- Assistance in expanding our personal identification and expression of SELF to improve the energy needed for change.
- Assistance in overcoming obstacles that keep us from accepting change.
Who Will Benefit
Over my years of practice I discovered that the inability to work with the changes in our life creates mental, emotional and distress. My approach assist a wide range of issues:
- Individual Problems & Concerns
- Couples Experiencing Difficulties
- Recovering Alcohol & Drug Abuse
- Loss of Spiritual Focus
- Stagnant Personal Growth
- Small business growth and direction
My Approach to Therapy - IFS Based
Over the years it has become clear that the issues each individual brings to therapy is unique and requires a customized approach to make meaningful progress and to relieve the cause of suffering. To this end I utilize a variety of effective psychotherapy techniques that include:
- Internal Family Systems Therapy
- Client (Person) Centered Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Mindfulness and Compassionate Therapy
- Gestalt Therapy
- EMDR Trauma Treatment
What ever mix of therapy utilized Internal Family Systems (IFS) is the essential underpinning.
