Individual Therapy
Individual therapy or counseling is an opportunity to receive support & experience growth during a challenging time. I use a narrative systems approach to guide individuals in healing and moving past their problematic story lines shaped by life experiences, events, interactions, and limited perspective.
Narrative therapy seeks to have an empowering effect that is non-blaming and non-pathological in nature. I also draw upon emotional focused therapies. Common issues for individual counseling are depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, grief & loss, etc.
Expatriate Counseling
I have direct experience as an expat in Europe & Asia who understands culture shock, stress, assimilation issues, language barriers and isolation.
