What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on beginning your journey, and I'm here to make sure it's meaningful to you.
My approach:
I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I offer EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.
My client focus:
I work with people navigating depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. If you're a veteran feeling stuck or struggling with past trauma and abuse, I can help. Together we'll address your emotional pain and work toward a more fulfilling, hopeful life.
My communication style:
I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and take a realistic approach, offering gentle challenges when needed. You can expect me to be calm, patient, and empathetic as we work through difficult moments together.
How I help clients reach goals:
Therapy is a partnership. Together we'll set goals that matter to you, whether improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As you gain new insights, your goals may evolve, and we'll adapt our plan to keep it meaningful and relevant.
My journey to becoming a provider:
I've always been drawn to stories of people losing their way and finding hope again. My faith informs my work, and I welcome clients of all beliefs. I'm here to help you discover the paths you've traveled and choose new ones that lead to a more fulfilling life.
My first session with clients:
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's normal to feel nervous, and we'll take it one step at a time. I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
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.
