I have a calm, patient approach to therapy with all clients; this approach is especially helpful for clients who have difficulties navigating life after trauma. I understand the importance of working with each client as an individual at the pace he or she feels most comfortable. Helping each client identify his or her strengths or positive attributes and applying those into challenging areas of life helps keep each client motivated. Taking time to work on small goals building to larger goals is also very important to avoid discouragement.
I like using a traditional holistic, talking approach to counseling which is helpful for many clients, especially those who need to restore a sense of balance to their lives, struggle with anxiety, or experienced traumatic events. I have a relaxed, informal approach, using a combination of modalities and evidence-based techniques.
Beginning counseling can be overwhelming or nerve-racking, but whatever the struggle may be, it doesn't have to be taken on alone. We can take action together with a commitment to yourself whether that is gaining perspective, improving or learning new skills, restoring balance, or processing experiences.
