Personal Statement

I try to maintain focus on the present and future in both my counseling and consulting work. While it can certainly be useful to examine how we got to this point, dwelling excessively on the past can delay present and future progress. Regardless of what has brought us to this point in time, the present moment is where we must begin making change to alter the trajectory and improve future outcomes. In a counseling relationship, I like to utilize a variety of behavioral theories, but ACT is my most often used modality. Many behavioral therapeutic concepts are surprisingly useful when exploring the behavior of an organization as well as an individual.

The first step in any counseling or consulting relationship is to assess for any critical situations or elevated risk. Those must be addressed first for one cannot start remodeling a house while it is still on fire. Once any crisis are under control, we will work to make an honest and thorough assessment of the holistic situation, look at paths forward, weigh alternatives, identify strengths, set goals and recommend specific action steps. From there, we can check in, monitor progress and make adjustments to the plan, as needed, to achieve the desired outcome

We will all operate with integrity, fidelity and veracity, in all situations and under all circumstances. If you need short-term support to overcome any type of challenge, Good Dudes are here for you.
