I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will spend some time getting to know you and the issues that brought you into treatment. I will use a formal, structured interview, or it may just feel like a more free-flowing conversation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Theories in counseling are important. However, they are often overrated. I think the therapeutic alliance is much more important than being able to apply theory in practice. While theories in counseling are important, I believe clients benefit most when they have a real connection with their therapist.
