My ideal client has motivation. They are someone who is willing to put in the work and better themselves. They are willing to learn and grow with my guidance and assistance. My ideal client is open and honest, even when it is difficult to be those things. They need support, encouragement, and someone to listen to them. Their goals are unique to them just as their needs and issues are unique to them. The important piece is that they are willing to start the journey of healing with me by their side.
I treat clients from a cognitive and psychodynamic theory approach. I utilize a client-centered therapy offering empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard. I also draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) as well as motivational interviewing (MI).
I understand the hesitation in starting the therapy process; it can be intimidating. I admire the bravery that my clients possess by embarking on their journey of healing and self-love. I feel it an accolade to weather the storm alongside them. I would love to hear from you; let’s weather this storm together.
