I believe every client is valuable & important regardless of the issues they struggle with. Helping clients recognize their worth, value & inner strengths & learn effective ways to use these strengths & not just focus on their weaknesses and struggles. It's helping clients identify what they can and can't control, manage what they can & learn how to let go or live with what they can't control. I believe everyone can begin again and there's no shame in asking for help in fact it is a strength.
