I utilize solution-focused, reality-based approaches when addressing important topics with my clients. The therapeutic relationship is key in my mission to form a reliable and safe rapport with my clients. I know how critical therapeutic trust is, which is why I endorse an open-minded framework in my sessions for my clients to be honest in a safe space. I lead with an empathetic, realistic mindset, knowing that we all have our own history of life experiences, and our own perspectives that come with it. I take the time to listen and get the full picture to try and gain insight into what my clients are going through and where they would like to be. Learning about yourself is a journey that I believe is lifelong. I treat every session as an opportunity to build trust, provide support, and give honest feedback.
