I aim to provide a safe space for clients, couples and families alike to seek, ask questions and learn more about who they are and what they are capable of becoming. It is my role to provide a listening ear and help clients search within to come up with their own answers to change toward a happier, more carefree life. I strive for strong rapport and full disclosure. Once the working relationship has been established the possibilities towards change become limitless. Some areas that I have worked with include, self-awareness and self-esteem strengthening; mindfulness skills for life's anxieties and stressors as well as managing our emotions and being able to apply emotional intelligence to all areas of our lives. The goal is for you to become the best version of yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients have often reported that they feel like they are just sitting comfortably with an old friend during our sessions; someone who knows them well and is there for any of life's challenges. The sessions are warm, relaxed and welcoming. The time is often client lead and will not move beyond the topic or pace that best suits them. During the first session, clients can expect to have an opportunity to present their goals. What is it that they hope to get out of counseling? What is it that has driven them to see a therapist and where do they hope to be in the future.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am very data driven and love to celebrate change and movement in progress wherever and whenever I can. To me, it is important that clients have a hand on the wheel. I want them to know that we are not simply meeting and chatting each week but that they are making progress and working towards those goals that brought them to me in the first place. I like to perform a lot of check ins, give homework assignments and review the relevance of therapy goals as we move along. I think of counseling as hard work, but with many rewards sprinkled about.
