"True success is the predictable result of hard work, patience, sacrifice & learning put into practice everyday." - Unknown Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I want my clients to know that I am not & far from the "cliche" or "robot therapist" they may have had in the past or seen on TV or movies. The main focus of my practice is to establish the HUMAN connection and rapport between therapist & client no matter what they may have come to my practice for. My firm belief is that it is my absolute job to treat every client with the respect of a human being who has dreams, goals, ambitions, likes, dislikes, successes and failures rather than just another case number or paycheck. I want my clientele to know and understand that I will always respect their experience and journey but I will also RESPECTFULLY challenge and hold all parties accountable in order to guide and spark up growth and true change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My true strengths as a therapist is always remaining true to myself but also understanding that I do not have all the answers. Many clients come to therapy for many exploratory items, mainly looking for answers from the therapist but in reality, I believe that the client is the greatest expert on themselves so I use my skill set and experience to help empower clients to build a solution focused plan in order to improve their mindset, perspectives and situation. Identifying the issue and then developing a plan to tackle the issue within a realistic "baby step" goal progress is key to empowering the world, one client at a time.
