What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I strive to create a safe environment where you can build trust which will hopefully transfer to your other (healthy) relationships. I explain my clinical approach which is Psychodynamic and how it will best serve you. We also go over the Informed Consent and answer any questions regarding it and my policies as well as how to reach me outside of session. We begin to explore your presenting issues, get a sense of each other working together, and identify goals you would like to achieve. We agree to a frequency of visits (usually once a week), and begin working towards transforming you by working through presenting issues, difficult feelings and unhealthy patterns to a state of thriving personally and relationally.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my strengths include being able to connect with individuals who have difficulty opening up. I’m very effective in helping people resolve complex issues and overcome their challenges and find emotional and tangible freedom to live the life they desire. My easy going personality and empathy puts people at ease so that sharing is less stressful. I’m very intuitive and hold space for your thoughts, feelings and needs to be heard and supported. I respect my clients’ autonomy to make their own decisions. I create a collaborative relationship where we work together to help you reach your goals and become a more resilient, capable, loving and inspired human being.
