Recognizing the need to share your vulnerability can be difficult and overwhelming, not knowing how to move forward leaves us stuck and unable to creatively think of solutions. I assist clients in building solutions to cope, prosper, and enjoy what is present. Using a compassionate heart, empathetic logic, and solution-focused approach to life's obstacles.
I work as a consultant to the client, looking a behaviors and skills that have been attempted in the past, developing self-awareness regarding responses, psycho-education on life processes and transitions. I want the client to gain the ability to generate their own ideas for interventions based on their current conditions.
Assertive and compassionate are the types of communication utilized. I want to model behavior that will assist the client in being direct in expressing needs, assertive in expectations of honesty and openness, and accepting different opinions without dismissing them.
