Hello! It can be scary to look for a counselor, great job on taking the first step of researching and finding someone to work with to improve the quality of your life.
Life is hard. As a counselor I practice acknowledging and understanding how experiences can shape and affect our thought process, emotions and behaviors.
My approach to counseling is first to build rapport. I practice person centered therapy and radical acceptance. I believe that every person has intrinsic value, and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.
Our first session will be a combination of gathering important background information, understanding what brought you to therapy and developing goals and outcomes you would like to achieve. You will experience, empathy and validation in a warm and caring environment. Together we will decide if we are a good fit to continue working together.
