Live better, Love better, Work better
IT'S EASY TO LOSE YOURSELF
You Can Find Your Way Back
ARE YOU MERELY EXISITING?
The good news is that life is day after day, the bad news is that life is day after day. The relentless of life makes it seem reasonable to move into automatic pilot mode. Our brain is powerful enough that it can handle most everything we do in day while not really paying attention. While this approach might be fine for flipping through Instagram, it’s definitely not a way to lead a life with any aspirations of a satisfying life. You're left feeling disconnected from the very things that you hold most important in you life.
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
BUT AREN’T SURE HOW TO GET THERE.
I help people whose anxiety takes over at the worst possible moments, couples who still dream that life with their partner could be as exciting as it was when you first got together, as well as people who feel depression slowly numbing their being. In every journey, you need a guide. A guide to navigate not only the stresses inherent in everyday life, but a guide to overcome the stresses that become anxieties and keep you stuck, scared, and overwhelmed. I’ll help you to recognize where you are currently, become clear on who you want to be, to identify the obstacles keeping you from being the person you want to be as well as how to deal with them, and then to become intentional in doing the thousand little things that are who you want to be.
THE LIFE YOU WANT IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE.
Once you understand and accept the battle we face as humans in not giving into the relentless of life, we can then focus our energies on what we do want and begin to do it. Sounds simple, right? Obviously, the words are easy and the doing it is complicated. Fortunately, this can all be unpacked so you can get out of your own way and create something resembling the life that you want.
THE PATH BEGINS HERE
“Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”
William James
For your benefit, let’s begin today.
HEY, I'M DUANE
I'm straightforward, providing questions, support, instruction and feedback. You’re the expert about you; my job is to be a guide to help you make use of who you are to become more of whom you want to be. Isn't this what you want from a therapist? Someone who is going to support you and not waste your time with therapist babble?
The people who experience the best results are motivated to be responsible for their position in life; are curious to learn about themselves and what about them does and doesn’t work in their world; are willing to change their perspective to improve their life; ready to make changes to their behavior; are honest with themselves.
SPECIALIZATIONS
I specialize because these human experiences have the ability to rob people of the life they desire, making it feel like a burden. Each of these are highly treatable if provided quality treatment.
I can't be skilled at everything and when seeking counseling you deserve to talk with someone who is both effective and efficient.
