In our first session, we will begin with introductions and then move directly into your reasons for seeking out therapy. It is of the utmost importance to me as a Therapist, to assist you in acquiring the skills necessary, to become successful in your relationships and with life in dealing with others outside of the home. I strive to provide everyone happiness and security in their lives
The greatest strength as a provider, has been honesty and providing you, the client, to understand seeking out therapy a part of an education to provide yourself towards a positive step of healing and bettering your life and those around you. Helping the individual (s) to recognize what is at the core of the issue and working on ways to find the appropriate solutions is the goal of therapy. Supporting and validating with what you are struggling with, so as to be able to assess and make secure decisions ,with a clear mind.
In practicing this method individuals have within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and for altering their self-concepts, basic attitudes, and self-directed behaviors. I have practiced this method for 20 years and have been able to help people work through issues that are affecting their lives in several different areas such as home, work, school, and family providing them with the knowledge on how to take their lives back and move forward.
