What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session of a counseling session typically involves the counselor and the client getting acquainted with each other. The counselor establishes a warm and welcoming environment, explains the counseling process, and discusses confidentiality and the client's rights. They may ask open-ended questions to understand the client's presenting concerns, goals, and background information. The client has the opportunity to express their reasons for seeking counseling and any expectations they have. Together, the counselor and client begin to build rapport and lay the groundwork for the therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a counselor, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to deeply empathize with clients, creating a space where they feel truly heard and understood. I excel in building strong therapeutic alliances, fostering trust and openness that facilitates meaningful exploration and growth.

Reality Therapy
In my counseling practice, I integrate Reality Therapy as a foundational approach to help individuals navigate their challenges and achieve their desired outcomes. Rooted in the belief that individuals have the power to make choices and take control of their lives, Reality Therapy emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their present circumstances, identify their needs, and clarify their goals. Through open and honest dialogue, I facilitate a process of self-evaluation, guiding clients to assess the effectiveness of their current behaviors and choices in relation to their desired outcomes. Together, we develop practical strategies and solutions that empower clients to make positive changes, aligning their actions with their values and aspirations. By fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, I strive to help clients cultivate self-awareness, build resilience, and enhance their capacity for self-direction and fulfillment.
