Individual CounselingI offer my clients a professional relationship of respect, safe boundaries, and care in which to do their internal and relational work. I will work with you to assist you to intervene in your own life in ways that stimulate your creative and whole-making abilities. The first session of individual counseling provides you the opportunity to present your primary concerns and goals together with a general picture of yourself. You may expect attention to your story, understanding for your experience, compassion for painful issues, respectful exploration of thoughts and behaviors that are hurtful to you or others, and initial movement toward your goals. You will be provided a notebook designed for you to track your own progress, noting insights gained, skills established, and areas for further work. Each subsequent session will build upon work done in the previous sessions, integrating concerns that emerge in the course of daily life.
