My job involves helping you determine what's taking place that isn't adding to your quality of life and then working together to seek solutions. Part of our experience in life necessarily includes suffering, feeling stuck, and experiencing hardships. As people having to navigate the sea of life, suffering comes to us in many forms. It could be a traumatic event, a predisposition to anxiety, a loved one who is going through pain, loss, you name it. We also may just be looking for change, and not know how best to move forward. I make use of solution focused interventions, humor, reality based questioning, and the therapeutic relationship to affect change. Alongside traditional counseling I also work with people using Japanese Psychology informed interventions, Naikan, Morita and Kaizen. Naikan is a form of self reflection used to gain insight into the story you tell yourself and helps to increase emotional intelligence, gratitude and acceptance. Morita is a pragmatic behavioral method helping one to separate subjective and objective considerations driving choice, and taking correct actions toward the goal. And Kaizen is a method used often in business and helps one to find success by taking small steps toward the goal with assessment and adjustment along the way. When combined with traditional therapy, these approaches can be powerful tools to get out of the places we find ourselves stuck, emotionally, behaviorally and situationally. Whatever it is that you want to see happen through therapy, we can discuss how I may be able to help you along the way.
