At first...

I take a very practical approach. At first, we will identify what is missing in your life. Typically, we experience distress because our basic human needs are not being met. Sometimes identifying our needs is a difficult challenge because you might not know what you need or how to meet it. We will do some exploration into your life to uncover your true desires.

Next...

Once we identify your unmet needs, we will discuss ways that you might make changes and better meet your needs. You are an adaptive person and have tried many times to make changes, but you have gotten unsatisfactory results. You may feel stuck. The benefit of my intervening is having an objective third party expert helping you think outside the box. This involves us considering things you have never tried or doing things differently.

Finally... 

Once we have identified a plan of action, I help you follow through with the intervention. Taking action is the most difficult step. We typically struggle with being consistant. It can take up to 90 days of consitant change before it becomes a new habit. We will keep going to the drawing board until we are successful.

Again...

In life, we are constantly facing new challenges and we may feel stuck again and we may need to revisit this process again from time to time.
