Here you will find the answers to the questions and statements I am most often presented with. Read on as I address fears, negative self-talk, panic, phobias, anger, grief, trauma, and other life challenging concerns. Looking for an answer to something else? Write me, i'll get back to you and also post it here (without your name)! Thanks in advance for contributing to Ask This Counselor!

Often times, I address the topic of anxiety in the plural. Reason being, there are many types of anxieties. General anxiety, social anxiety, panic, phobia, OCD, and PTSD. Typically, this is done when providing education by allowing me to address a larger audience and their varying concerns while indicating and normalizing the similarities that are experienced, therefore, allowing for a greater impact overall.

Like a well written mystery, counseling is fascinating! Every evolving story line is unique. There is a beginning; sometimes it is a slow but progressive first chapter; other times, an all-in intense opening.
As the story evolves, the characters (you and me) begin to question the what, the who, the where, the why, and the how? We must unravel the unexplained, unknown, or kept secret. The plot thickens, the details and clues begin to surface. And as we embark upon these critical junctures, we develop a plan to discover the ambiguities that often bring to light more divided paths or distractions. Through experience, problem-solving, exploration, review and processing, the uncovered information points us toward resolution and the hero (that’s you) moves onward to live life with new intent and meaning. Counseling is about being open, digging in, and trust. It is all about collaboration, togetherness, and possibilities. It is understanding that life challenges are the exception and not the rule. It is learning to believe in the possibility of YOU. |
