What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will begin with an introduction and background and then focus on the key areas you'd like to address in counseling so that I can plan for our follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with youth and families for over 20 years I have developed and approach that will identify the issues clearly and provide the opportunity for measurable growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am passionate about working with families to improve their dynamics and achieve personal and group goals. I find that helping each person to express themselves and hear the others clearly is a powerful tool. From there the doors of possibility are open to positive change and harmony.
