My goal as a therapist is to help clients reach a sense of safety, security, and comfort in their lives. Finding solutions to problems is important, and I also believe that being able to find greater awareness and understanding of the factors involved in the problems and solutions can lead to even greater results than what is expected. At this time my main focus is helping clients with their anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and motivation.
As a therapist, I ask specific questions to gain a deeper understanding of my clients as a whole, and work together with them to use their understanding and experience of their life to help them find the ways to resolve issues. I view counseling and therapy as walking side by side with my clients and helping them see things they might have overlooked or find the resources that will be helpful to overcome challenges they may face. In order to get the most out of therapy, we will use knowledge, patience, understanding, and maybe even some humor, to help you move forward through your journey.
During intake I'll ask questions about what brought clients into counseling and what their therapy goals will be. After the clinical information is collected, we can start talking about you as a person! Because the things that are important about you and your life are just as important as the problems and treatment goals. As I get a better understanding of you as my client, I'll have a better understanding of we can work together make your life journey a better one.
