I believe we are similar in our deepest desires and hopes as human beings, but how we process our emotions and thoughts, and express ourselves according to our life story, is what makes us so uniquely special.
Sometimes we have the feeling of being stuck, in a rut, we can't move forward and nor can we go backward, a neutral zone. Sometimes we need to stay in this place, a kind of cocoon where we hibernate until we have the strength and belief in ourselves to take the next step in life.
However if we stay in that place too long we can feel frozen, suspended in time, separated from our true self, and feel we are living but not fully alive. Just going through the motions, these motions can become habitual, keeping up the status quot, however the longer we stay in this place we either can become numb, build up resentment, which becomes anger and when it has gone on too long it can become rage, or fear, turning into anxiety,
and panic.

There may come a point in our life when it is too difficult to process these feelings and thoughts alone. Working with someone other than family or friend, a professional who can reflect, guide, teach, mentor, and remind us of who we really are from a fresh perspective is one of the keys to healing through counseling.
What kind of therapy can I offer you? I'm very eclectic and creative in my approach. I will focus on who you are, your style and personality, and together we will find the right approach to help you move forward.
Exploring your family of origin helps in identifying rules and faulty belief patterns we have internalized from childhood, understanding how we cope under stress and fear, finding new coping stances to strengthen ourselves, some people need a very cognitive approach, others need a more creative outlet of exploration through art, painting, journals, guided imagery, stories....dreams.
What ever the problem is we can go there.... as Virginia Satir said "The problem is often not the problem but the coping is the problem."
