Small Change Works

individual needs and intentions. I specialize in helping you explore the possibility of making small changes (usually several small changes) that can help you in changing unwanted, problematic or bothersome feelings and states like anger, anxiety, guilt, shame, panic and undue stress. I think of what I do as being educational;
it can also be a bit humorous and thus therapeutic- "laughter is the best medicine". It differs from traditional approaches to change (i.e. talking about your feelings, or your story, or being labeled with a 'diagnosis'. My training and experience have led me to an approach where there is more emphasis on building a metaphor of what is the problem state 'like' . For example-- 'its like I'm tripping over my own feet" or "I feel 'boxed in'" or "I just can't keep up" or "I've fallen into the pit of despair" or "I'm so angry I could just 'explode'. ( I understand some of this- I was 'stuck in a rut' for a long time.) One of the advantages of using metaphors is that-
Sessions can be done in a way that is not embarrassing and-shsss- (a bit 'secretive'.) Another advantage is that what I do is personalized (client based) and I'll help you using your language, Your natural language and metaphors, in developing options for change. There is an emphasis on strategies and creating more choices in
regard to behavior and feelings. I offer flexible hours and reasonable fees. I also offer and small group workshops
