In my mind, the ideal client is that person who has identified that some aspect of their life has stopped being normal for them. People who seek out a counselor to validate the fact that change is necessary, and desire professional help to collaborate in identifying their own natural strengths (or at least potential capabilities) towards overcoming difficulties seem to be very goal oriented. These people are exciting to work with.
Individual work, as well as working with couples, teens and young adult students, parent/child relationships are my areas of focus. I specifically address personal issues of insecurities, decreased self confidence, irrational perceptions and beliefs, and communication skill coaching. These are key to how we view ourselves and direct our own behaviors and reactions.
Special measures were taken to make sure the atmosphere in my office is warm and inviting. I love humor as well as hands-on experiences such as; board work, video, and bibliotherapy to break up the monotony of the stereotyped view of long drawn out and dry sessions.
