What should a new client know about working with you?
Prior to my recent relocation to Arizona, I spent over two decades living, working, and playing in the Seattle and Puget Sound region. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work full-time as a therapist and see patients in Washington, Arizona, and Colorado. I earned a Master's degree in Counseling and a Certificate in DV Advocacy from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in December 2006.
In my counseling practice, I approach therapy from two primary perspectives. The first perspective emphasizes the importance of examining our past stories and themes as a way to enhance our ability to live healthy and fulfilling lives today. By exploring our experiences with family, caregivers, schools, friends, breakups, successful relationships, and abusive ones, we can gain insights that empower us to achieve greater happiness and fulfillment in the present.
The second perspective I bring to my practice is grounded in the idea that addressing our basic needs is fundamental to effective therapy. Whether we're facing sudden tragedy, compulsive behaviors, financial stress, career changes, or other significant disruptions, therapy can be a powerful tool to help us navigate life's challenges. I prioritize emergent issues and basic needs in my work with clients, recognizing that these form the foundation for growth and healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
