While it could be said that individual therapy is largely focused on the 'being' aspects of our lives, performance counseling focuses on the 'doing' aspects.  We live in a performance-based culture and society - whether if be in our work (vocational) or personal (avocational) efforts.  Performance has many expressions and challenges, and just as many impacts on our lives. To the positive, it can be aspirational, affirming, thrilling or fun, and inspire motivation and creative expression; conversely, it can be anxiety-provoking, exhausting or even demoralizing (e.g., experiences such as imposter syndrome).  Regardless of whether you are pursuing a personal goal, or preparing for a high-stakes exam or speech, I will bring 25 years of experience working with students, trainees and professionals at the University of Minnesota to see that your performance efforts are more efficient, effective, and (ultimately) satisfying.
