We all go through tough times. My job as a therapist is to support your healing and renewal when you have been stunned, wounded, or overwhelmed. In addition to using evidence-based treatments, I believe I can best support you with encouragement, by building on your strengths, and by sharing skills and perspectives. I want to get you back to feeling like the "real you," feeling at peace, connected, and inspired.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a collaborative and exploratory process aimed at building a therapeutic relationship. Here's what typically happens: I will introduce myself and provide an overview of the therapeutic process. We will discuss confidentiality and the limits to confidentiality to establish trust. I will invite the client to share their background, including relevant personal and relational history. Clients are encouraged to express their primary concerns and reasons for seeking therapy. We will collaboratively identify and discuss the client's goals and expectations for therapy. Setting realistic and achievable goals helps guide the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
All therapy should focus on cultivating positive aspects of a person and how they engage with the world and others around them so that they may start to uncover areas of growth and begin to move toward their full authentic potential. My biggest strength is my ability to help you identify the areas you need to work on to be the best version of yourself.
