My ideal client is willing to explore uncomfortable areas and understand that vulnerability is part of the process. One of the most important parts of therapy for me is highlighting accountability and our roles in our lives. I enjoy working with clients struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, irrational thinking, and life adjustments. A client who can pinpoint what they want to improve and request guidance along the way is ideal. Their goal is not to be perfect but to improve their daily life each day.
I can provide a safe space for clients to discuss things they might not discuss with anyone else. I practice genuineness to create an authentic therapeutic relationship. I remind clients they are in control and I am just there for the ride. I encourage clients to lean into strengths and confront them about areas that need work.
I work with individuals with various concerns, goals, and experiences. I help clients build self-awareness and explore themselves through a healing journey. My goal is to push clients outside of their comfort zones so that they can grow as individuals. I use a strength-based approach to help empower clients, building self-efficacy and resiliency.
