Counseling for Finding Purpose and Meaning in Life

Counseling Solution Focus Areas

Some of the cognitive, behavioral, and neuro-developmental challenges I excel at helping people like you find solutions to. I have successfully helped clients' deal with many other issues, so if you don't see yours, contact me to see how I can best help you.

Life’s Meaning & Purpose Questions

Using Logo and Philosophical Therapy approaches, clients can find practical ways to find purpose and meaning in life no matter what happens.

Go to Group Therapy

Group Therapy

Developing skills with others with similar mental and behavior problems to yours to overcome them. Currently offering groups in DBT, anxiety/depression, social skill/assertiveness development& Autism managment.

Anxiety & Worry

The word worry comes from an old English word meaning to strangle. We work together to break the stranglehold of worry and anxiety.

Go to Autism (ASD) & Asperger’s

Autism (ASD) & Asperger’s

People with ASD tend to think in pictures, while most other people think in words/emotions. This explains why it can be so hard for people with ASD to interact socially: they sense differently than other people.

Go to Assertiveness & Social Skills Development

Assertiveness & Social Skills Development

Assertiveness and social skills are about making connections with others and having equality with others. Developing these skills can reduce anxiety and improve relationships. In fact, assertiveness training was originally designed to treat anxiety.

Obsessions, Compulsions, & Scrupulosity

Obsessions and compulsions are attempts to relieve anxiety and fear…but the obsessions and compulsions just take over your life.

Fun Facts that Uniquely Help in Counseling

Training in meat tasting really helps getting Mindfulness. My love of philosophy, theater, and literature have made me highly empathetic. My expertise in animal welfare/ handling in slaughter-houses has made me highly skilled in assisting clients with Autism and Asperger’s.
When you study animal welfare the go-to person is Dr. Grandin who is known for her work in ASD & slaughter-houses. Her ideas’ helped developed my advanced insights into features of Autism, including the concept of thinking in pictures (aka Autism) vs thinking verbally (most people).
