I've had many successes in my life, degrees, and education. But the thing that has taught me the most is my failures. After "losing everything" I had to learn to love myself to create a life that I love to live. Now, I am grateful for it all; the blessings, the challenges, the failures, and the successes.
Initially, I want to hear from the client what they want in therapy, and what they would like to see different in their lives. I believe that many times there is an underlying negative belief that keeps us stuck - "I can't do anything right", or "I'm not good enough" for example. I work with clients to challenge those beliefs and change them so that those negative beliefs don't get in the way of becoming who the client wants to become.
Client can expect to be heard and understood, to be respected as a person and to end the session with a plan that will help each person move a little closer to their goal.
