I have been a counselor for over 20 years. I have worked with clients who range from 5 to 85. I believe the most important aspect of counseling is feeling comfortable with the counselor. You need to be able to trust who you are working with has your best interest at heart and genuinely listens to help meet your therapeutic goals. If I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding the right counselor.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
To help clients make tangible progress, I often assign practical exercises or "homework" that promote movement toward their personalized goals. By encouraging clients to actively engage with the therapeutic process outside of sessions, I help them integrate the skills they’ve learned into their daily lives, promoting sustained growth and long-term change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Key strengths often include resilience—the ability to bounce back from adversity and adapt to change. Compassion is another powerful strength, as it fosters meaningful connections and empathy toward others. Integrity, the commitment to honesty and strong moral principles, builds trust and reliability in relationships.
