The ideal client for me to work with would be any person who is struggling with internal or interpersonal issues and cares enough to want to improve the role they are playing in their life through awareness and growth.
I have done a significant amount of crisis intervention in previous positions and can address highly stressful topics calmly and comfortably. I build rapport quickly with clients in a way that helps them become more willing to discuss difficult subjects. I have utilized CBT techniques in the past that help clients become more aware of their own thought processes and tendencies. I have a talent for restating clients thoughts in a different way that helps improve their understanding of their own thought process. I utilize metaphors that are specific to the experience of my clients to help them understand subjects in a way that is familiar to them.
I am a compassionate and caring person who has always felt a kinship with everyone I meet. I believe that we grow most when we learn from one another. I became a counselor and therapist because of my passion for learning with and from the people who I get to serve in that role. I believe that getting to know our true selves is a lifelong journey and can require guidance and some additional perspective along the way. I know that learning who we are is the best way to understand what we want and how to grow into the person that meets those goals. I would very much like to help you in this process.
