I hope this page will help you determine if I might be a good fit for you. Counselors have different experiences, training, and perspectives that inform the way they work with clients and look at life. Each Counselor is unique.
The clients I work best with and with the best outcomes are people ready to do the work it takes to heal. They understand there is value in counseling and what is offered. They may have already tried going it alone and felt something was missing.
They appreciate my approach and seek an engaged counselor who provides feedback and asks meaningful questions. I am present, cooperative, and empathic.
I have a collaborative style using active listening, asking questions, and providing my perspective but I avoid imposing my ideas or giving advice.
The clients who are most successful in therapy with me have some commonalities. They are ready to make a change. They are open-minded and are willing to try new things. They can form a therapeutic alliance that includes rapport, trust, and safety. They want to do the work to get to the root of the problem. They want change for themselves and the betterment of their relationships.
