My Job
My job with Twin Cities Counseling is to learn how individuals/families currently function. I want to see how they handle stress, conflict, and disappointment as well as how they celebrate achievements, goals and accomplishments. After that, we get to figure out what is not working in their lives and how they would like to make it better. We then set a goal and a plan to achieve that goal. In short, my job is to work myself out of a job. I do not believe in long term psychotherapy.

I understand that coming to counseling is a difficult decision for most people to make. I try to make everyone feel comfortable with the therapy process from the very first session. It is not uncommon for people to take their shoes off and curl up in a chair as they come in for their sessions. I am normally in my socks too!

Your Job
Your job is to find the courage to begin counseling. It is also important provide honest feedback and insight as to what you are struggling with and would like to change. Trust in the therapist is paramount. If you come in for the free consultation and you are not comfortable with my style.. then I will assist you in finding another therapist. That is absolutly fine! You need to be able to trust your therapist to be able to get any important work done!
