MY APPROACH TO COUNSELING

"Counseling" is often thought of a process by which a person sits down and talks about his or her feelings or past negative experiences in order to feel better in the present.  But what about when that person cannot express themselves in words?  Age, developmental level, strong emotions, communication style, and trauma history can all restrict a client's use of words.  For this reason, I offer a variety of age-appropriate, research-based approaches that give clients the tools to more fully express and process their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and possibilities.
