I find empathy and unconditional positive regard to be healing in and of itself; however, I also understand the value of clinical training and learning to implement interventions according to my client’s needs.
My goal in every single session is to provide a safe, judgment free, calming environment for my client’s. I want my client’s to know that I am in their corner, that I believe in them and that we will work together toward setting and reaching realistic and achievable goals at the pace set by my client.
The comment I get most often is that my client’s feel that I truly do care and sincerely want to help the client make positive changes. I think we all have a need to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I work diligently to provide this to each and every client.
In our sessions you can expect to feel comfortable expressing yourself and knowing you are being heard. I will use my knowledge base and open communication to work with you to make decisions that best suit your individual needs. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone and in order to achieve true healing, we must work together in a safe and judgement free atmosphere.
My clients return for their follow up visits because they know they are going to be heard and supported in each meeting. Many return excited to provide an update on how well they are doing and the good things that have happened in their lives in the interim. Others return with the trials they are facing, knowing we will make a plan and keep working until we achieve their goals. Either way these visits are a safe space dedicated to each individual’s needs at that time.
