Individual Counseling

Individuals should seek counseling when they finally realize that they have reached a level of distress, which they have been unable to resolve alone. This is often very difficult for people to acknowledge to themselves because they feel there is something inherently wrong with themselves if they cannot solve their own personal problems. Yet, these same people would not hesitate to go to a brain surgeon to remove a tumor or a podiatrist to remove a bunion. In both of these cases, these doctors possess the knowledge and skills to help your physical body heal. Obviously, you do not possess these same skills, thus, you turn to a professional. Similarly, I work with individuals who are facing challenges with their personal life, family life, and business life and guide them through emotional healing.

Preparation for individual counseling is important. For the best and more immediate results, you should define your goals; make a list of your relationship issues, as well as feelings and events that are contributing to your distress. It then becomes my responsibility to provide a safe and trusting environment in which you can express your true emotions and feelings.

Growth and understanding of oneself takes time, effort and the implementation of coping skills. Changing your behaviors and reaching a higher level of understanding can be difficult, but once achieved it will result in a happier and healthier you.
