Empowering YOU to re-construct the future YOU deserve
Individual Counseling
I believe anxiety gets in the way of identifying our unique signature strengths that are required to restore us to authentic happiness. This can lead to getting stuck in life. Individual counseling seeks to reconcile the root cause that often cripples our perception as to "how" to fix our problem.
Our Hope-Focused counseling approach is designed to identify and resolve your issues, so that your life may be may be repurposed, in both your personal and professional life, focusing on what truly matters.
Intentional Change: clients learn “how” to confront their problem and "why" change matters.
Results: our proven counseling methods produce positive results, which alter "how" they see themselves, pathways to circumvent and address their issues, and enhance well-being.
Effectiveness: the efficacy of our work allows clients to adopt a new way of living and envision "how" that becomes life changing.
Professional Development
We are all born with talented minds. However, Gallup (2015) found that nearly 70% in this country are disengaged from their work, creating discontent. This results in lower measurable levels of hope. Individuals often wonder if there is more to life than simply showing up for their job.
In response to this, our Hope-Focused Intentional Change Model ® is a strengths based approach that concentrates on an integrative process that guides individuals through their stress, to bridge this disconnect, and develop what resembles their vocational calling in life. In effect, our clients become architects, co-construct pathways towards lives that have a sense of purpose.
We yearn to discover three basic things about ourselves:
1. "What" do we really want to do professonally and will it allow us a chance to reflect our uniqueness in "what" we do?
2. Does"what" we do in life matter or is it just a job?
3. "What" gifts or competencies are we endowed with and "how" can they support a pathway to an abundant life?
Problem:
Many are frustrated with what they do and are looking for a vocation that taps into their gifts to deploy in professions that are rewarding. However, they attempt to discover the answers to these questions above by engaging in coaching, counseling, and or vocational programs that use test results to guide individuals by merely matching their personality and interests. Importantly, these are based on the paths others have pursued and "how" they've done it. They never reveal the purpose of those pursuits, nor do they project an accurate reflection of "who" they are as individuals.
Solution:
Purpose is found through Hope-Focused process that integrates a subjective validation of “why” a life path has meaning and an objective assessment of "how" their inborn abilities may support them on that journey. Together, the insight allows for a constructive process to ensue, developing a sense of purpose, and the willpower that inspires the motivation to own intentional change.
As individuals, we all long for an understanding of “what” we are naturally good at, “how” we may deploy our gifts in a way that expresses our uniqueness, and a path in life that impacts the lives of others. This is accomplished by engaging in a process of self-reflection, leading to self-clarity, which enhances self-esteem, and promotes self-efficacy, all of which elevates levels of hopefulness. Clarity reveals "how" these may be manifest in a purpose-driven life. Significantly, this elevates a sense of hope that focuses on changing "what" we think (attitude), "why" what we do feels right (emotions), and "how" this impacts our response during stressors we encounter on our journey, including turning points in life (behavior).
Our Mission:
Our mission as counselors and professionals in career development is to work with individuals in the discovery of "what" makes them exceptional. This process empowers them to confidently express their individuality in the world. We want them to re-discover "who" they are, "why" their interests are a reflection of themselves, and "how" their inherent abilities will support them in fulfilling a life they envision. It is about re-framing an attitudinal approach to living that is abundant and meaningful. Ultimately, what individuals hope for is an avocation that feels less like work and more like "what" they are called to do in this life.
