Philosophy
Simply, each of us
is expert on our selves. Counseling, therapy or
coaching basically provides
a
skilled, objective, outside person to
catalyze our energy, sharpen our awareness and help build
the
confidence we need for dealing with
concerns we face. I use a well-researched, evidence-based
method, also adopted by Group
Health & WA
Family Services.
Issues commonly addressed
Problem Focus:
Couples or
family issues
Enrichment:
Work
satisfaction
Anxiety*
Family communication
Loss, grief &
change
Life purpose
Exhaustion/Depression*
Deeper
life connections*
*The
Gestalt "here &
now" --where we are able to be attentive, listen
well, and be real--is an important aspect of
successful therapeutic
work, increasing expressiveness and genuineness. These benefits drawn
from a candid therapy
or coaching process, lead to richer
connection with ourselves, and others; and during sessions, they can
jumpstart
good thinking for successful
solutions to
complex concerns.
