During individual counseling, your goals are valued. Treatment is developed based on your needs. We will establish a plan that works best with your personality, values, and belief systems. Counseling is a collaborative process to identify and explore life experiences, stressors, and obstacles that are getting in your way. We will use an integrative approach depending on your goals and our decision based on those goals. It may include Imago, EMDR, DNMS, and/or other modalities to help resolve long-standing issues as well as coping skills to work through current situational issues. Individual counseling can help you develop a more conscious awareness of yourself, develop personal growth, and heal emotional hurt. Everyone experiences life’s obstacles. Those obstacles and how they are experienced are unique to each person. During individual counseling, we will work together to identify what is working for you and what is not. You will be accepted where you are to develop a more balanced perspective to heal those hurts, deal with frustrations and resolve problems. I will help you develop and enhance positive growth and personal strength to heal and continue with good self-care.
