My ideal Client would be someone struggling with very difficult circumstances in their interpersonal life. They may feel that things even look hopeless from their perspective. However; the Client comes to the first session and receives 30 CC's of hope, insight, and encouragement. They leave that first session with a clear understanding of their own personal goals that this therapist was able to help the Client discover. The objectives would be then identified from the Client's strengths, values, morals, and their own principles.

When we are burdened by negative moods, self rejection and unhelpful thoughts or perspectives, the quality of our lives is diminished. I believe healthy emotional flow is key to embracing life's joys and processing challenges. We are often taught to reject and avoid our feelings which contributes to depression and anxiety. When we learn to accept and allow our feelings in a healthy manner, we are able to process our past and present effectively. This supports good presence in our lives and empowers us to respond versus react. I feel that in order to move forward in life, the past must be dealt with and completed.

Regardless of the stage in our lives, in difficult times we all need help. Mental health counseling is a valuable service that many people benefit from by processing their thoughts, feelings and actions and ultimately finding solutions for their challenges. It is not easy to take the first step due to the stigma about seeking mental health services and/or self-doubt. If you or your loved one is needing extra help to navigate life’s challenges, seek help or resources to make life a bit easier.
