I know that the hardest step in seeking help is finding the energy to sign up or admitting that you are ready to make a change or be uncomfortable in your vulnerability. Change is difficult but change is the only constant that I can guarantee that occurs every day. No matter what you are experiencing it is not too small or too big, because at the end of the day you are the only one in your mind/body experiencing whatever presenting problem you have and I am here to help, guide, foster, and process with you. Failure is okay and sometimes is the only place that we can truly learn and grow from that experience. I am ready and excited to work with anyone who is here to take that step. I like to make my space a safe and non-judgmental one where you can openly express yourself. I like to use a variety of techniques in sessions and tend to take a more holistic approach.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I like to talk about how sessions will go, learn some background of what has been going on. I like to say that your life is puzzle pieces on the floor and we are working together to put it "back together" with coping skills as the invisible tape. It may not look the same as it use to but that is okay. I lIke to get to know you a little and share a little about myself to build rapport.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I think that some of my greatest strengths are that I am extremely open and ready to engage. I think that pulling from all aspects and types of techniques that I like to cater to you specially as a client, to meet you where you are. I do not think that one technique fits all.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am ready to work with anyone but it does help if you are ready and willing to talk, it doesn't matter if we jump around, but ideally this only works when you are open and ready to communicate in sessions. In addition, I think that doing some things outside of sessions are also important because we only get an hour a week typically, the hardest work is what you do outside of your sessions.
