COUNSELING

The saying
goes, "If the only tool you have is a
hammer, then every problem you see will be a
nail." I strive to treat each person as
uniquely as they deserve to be treated.
Together, we will create a plan of treatment
that respects each person's strengths and
struggles.
I help
people achieve four things:
Peace, Power, Passion, and
Possibilities
Peace:
Do you
find yourself in conflict with the people
around you and finding yourself back at the
same old place no matter what you try? Do
you feel frustrated that, despite your most
sincere efforts, inner peace is elusive? Do
you feel nagged by the question “Where do
I really belong?” If these sound
familiar to you, please know that there are
specific things you can learn to get off the
merry-go-round conversation you’ve been
having with the person or people who are
most important to you. Know that you can
learn to call off the war inside you between
the side of you that wants to move forward
and the side that keeps putting on the
brakes. Inner peace and outer peace are
possible. All you may need are a few new
tools for your toolkit.
Power:
How
can I be powerful in the world and not be
unfair? How can I own all the colors in me
and celebrate the truth of who I am? How
can I keep things on track so that I’m both
a strong advocate for what’s right and an
open minded person who can listen to other
viewpoints? How can I stay focused on what
I want and not sabotage myself?
We all want
to be strong and kind. We all want to reach
our goals and not lose our souls in the
process. I can help you be a strong
advocate for yourself while still being
open-minded to the views and needs of
others.
Passion: Have
you lost the best in you by trying to be
considerate of others and their needs? Have
you found yourself doubting that you’ll ever
be able to find real joy and meaning in your
life? Have you found yourself worrying
about how you can live with something or
someone instead of finding what or whom you
can’t live without? It’s not too late to
have the life you were meant to live. You
can have so much more than you currently
believe. No, I can’t guarantee you will be
happy forever or that you’ll have everything
you want if you work with me. What I will
say is that you’ll be able to take your best
shot and live with the results instead of
wondering, “What if……?” Is it time for you
to discover again just what it is that you
want?
Possibilities:
Is there a way to save my
marriage? Is there a way to find love or
find my way back to it? Can I break down
the walls of isolation that leave me feeling
alone no matter where I am and whom I’m
with? Can I truly break out of the traps
that I bought into that I call a life? The
answer to all these questions is YES.
Though it may seem you’ve tried everything,
the truth is that you’ve tried everything
that you know, not
everything. There’s a good chance that,
with some fresh eyes to help you view the
problem, doors may open that you didn’t even
know existed.
Treatment Options: For over 25
years, I have provided individual, couples,
family, and group counseling. I have
facilitated men’s, women’s, couple’s, and
poetry groups. I have a special sensitivity
to gender issues, race issues, and sexuality
issues. Men’s groups I have facilitated
have lasted as long as sixteen years,
women’s groups as long as seven. I have
facilitated over fifty poetry groups over
the past ten years. Be sure to check out
the page about Poetry Counseling on the
website. You may be surprised to find
something there you wouldn’t have
considered.
Fees:
My fees generally run from $50 to
$110.00 per hour based on ability to pay.
With that said, I have never turned anyone
away who wanted to work with me because of
money. I am committed to making sure that
there is one place where people can receive
quality service despite their income. You
will only pay what you can actually afford
so there is no one who can’t afford my
services. Even if you’re broke? Yes, even
if you’re completely out of money.
