New to Grow
I have been a therapist for the past 30 years. I have worked in numerous therapeutic environments that have provided me with a wealth of experience that allows me to work with an array of different clients. I am the type of therapist that provides a safe and comfortable environment where the person can be their authentic self. I have conversations with my clients that help them address their issues. I provide a safe space that creates an opportunity to explore the person's issue. My therapeutic personal style is to be curious and ask many questions so that the person can look at themselves and their issues more closely.
In our first session, we will discuss the reason for counseling. We will explore how your issues have affected your life and what steps can be taken to make positive changes. We will also create goals that will provide a road map for you to accomplish what you are desiring from counseling.
My style of therapy is to both listen and give the client the space to share how they think and how they feel. I also challenge the client to work on their issues by asking questions, making comments and inviting them to explore who they are.
I enjoy working with clients that are motivated and committed to working on issues such as anxiety, depression, self esteem and trauma. My ideal client is someone who is insightful, open to looking at themselves and wants to be challenged in therapy. I would like for them to want to get help and want to make changes because they are tired of their problems telling them how to live.
