I am a licensed professional counselor working virtually with clients who are physically located in Pennsylvania. I typically work with clients who do too much and are overwhelmed by all of the things they need to do. I love to use brainspotting (it is my favorite thing) and most clients report feeling less bothered by things within 3 months.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First session is typically an interview where I am asking a lot os questions, but not the entire time. We go over the basics, then in the next few sessions we dig deep, and also allow time for the client to speak and be heard and share what they need to discuss and what is upsetting them. I extend the intake over the first few sessions to help people feel less overwhelmed by the process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am direct and will ask the tough questions, but also ask about how you want to use our time, what is most important that we cover. I have a plan and direction, but will gladly set that aside and deal with what you are coming in with.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Anyone who is dealing with too much, and wanting to do it all and managing all of the things and rediscovering who they are and what they want from life.

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is noticing what you are feeling in your body and being intentional about finding a spot in your view (a focal spot) to look at and process the thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensation that come up around a feeling reaction to things that have happened to you in your life. Current events that are coming up and also past traumas.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT) is a structured intervention to draw and tell the narrative (about a concrete trauma) in an structured way to help process and do memory reconsolidation. Once the narrative is complete it is set aside for a few weeks, then if you need to talk and process the trauma we can, many people to want to talk it out...but for some the intervention is enough and additional processing is not helpful or needed.
