LMFT, 9 years of experience
Hey there! I'm a young clinician that enjoys aiding clients through major and minor life transitions. I prefer a interactive, conversational style that allows for free flowing rapport building and client comfort through the treatment process. I know that counseling/therapy is not an easy situation to put oneself in, but if I can ease it in any way possible, that is the goal, so that we can focus on what most matters to you.
The first session, may or may not, be full of intake paperwork, which means our agenda is based around collecting data. I try to make this task flow easily and run as smoothly as possible. If intake has already been completed, we review the information, along with the measures and start talking goals/purpose for therapy.
The one thing that stands out about me as a clinician is that I am very inviting. I do my best to always provide a comfortable environment that allows clients to want to come back.
The ideal client is preferably one that finds themselves at a crossroad or a cliff in their lives. They are trying to navigate a heavy stress load, lacking coping mechanisms, or needing to figure out how to move in a particular direction.
I believe in tailoring therapy to fit the need of each client. No person is one size fits all.
For those that center God/Christ in their lives, incorporating Him and biblical principles (scripture) can be a mighty tool towards healing, as well as understanding the path forward.
Many clients respond best to working more so with finding solutions to present issues.
