Individuals from 18-85 come for a variety of reasons. Many are struggling in relationships with self, partners or professionally. They often present for some of the following reasons:
Adoption & Fostering (Adult children, biological parents, and adoptive parents)
Ambivalence
Anxiety
Anger issues
Attention Deficit
Attachment difficulties
Bipolar Disorder
Chronic Pain
Communication Difficulties
Conflict avoidance
Depression
Dishonesty
Isolation
Grief
Lethargy/Lack of motivation
People Pleasing
Perfectionism
Self-esteem deficits
Shamefulness
Sleeplessness
Spiritual Guidance (for lay persons and spiritual leaders)
Suspiciousness
Trauma survivors
Couples come for similar experiences within relationships. Most feel their committed relationship is in need of attention and repair. Such couples are often feeling disconnected, in conflict, uncommunicative, or in need of healing following infidelity. Some come for premarital counseling and some to aid with separation. I happily work with both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
