As people facing life's challenges, at times we need help. We may find ourselves stuck, confused, frustrated, not knowing what to do. Counseling is one way to help ourselves as we make changes, face transitions, or answer the questions life throws at us:
- Why don't I feel good?
- How can I stop worrying?
- How can I get rid of this stress?
- How can I make this decision?
- Am I normal?
- Should I make a job change?
- Can this get better? Should I relocate?
- Why can't I stop this behavior?
- Is this the right relationship?
- How can I get along with my family?
- What's wrong?
In striving to be happy, to succeed, we are met with obstacles that slow us down or stop us in our tracks. Sometimes these obstacles are within us, and sometimes they come from outside. We may say, "This shouldn't be a problem," or, "I shouldn't feel this way." Or, "This is unfair."
We may be paralyzed with indecision, or feel broken or hopeless, or resort to unhelpful or destructive solutions. We may find our suffering increases. All the while what to do to make things better eludes us. It isn't a disorder. This is life. Often times our pain is a natural outgrowth of the events that have come before.
Chances are if you're looking at my web page, you've been doing some soul-searching. My purpose here is to give you a sense of who I am and how I work, so that you can better decide if I am someone who can help. If in your reading your feeling is that I may be helpful to you, I invite you to call me. I'd be happy to sit with you and listen, and to share with you what I know.
