Intention Counseling Services

Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing a lot of emotional pain or stress, maybe even confusion about a situation or yourself. Life throws curve balls. Bad things happen. One goal of therapy is to relieve anxiety, and every session should give you greater understanding of the issue and should bring relief—whatever the issue may be. You might feel alone and maybe overwhelmed about personal concerns—that’s normal. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place for positive problem solving, and allows for all feelings and thoughts: a place you can enter and feel safe and hopeful. More than 35 years of practice with individual adults, couples, adolescents, and groups has taught me a lot and I consider the work a gift and an honor. Some therapeutic schools utilized include: family systems, attachment theory, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, empowerment, trauma-informed, and mindfulness: intervention plans match client concerns. It is challenging to gain insight and develop new ways to relate. I strive to create an authentic space for clients to work toward personal goals by breaking patterns and overcoming obstacles: mastering the emotional-behavioral barriers we each create to get through the days–It is not easy, but working together, a clear path can be forged.
