About My Clients
My ideal client for mental health counseling seeks support for trauma, Alzheimer's, or dementia, whether personally or as a caregiver. I welcome those ready for healing & growth after traumatic experiences. In Alzheimer's & dementia care, I value clients dedicated to enhancing their loved one's well-being & seeking guidance. My ideal client is motivated, open to personal growth, & is seeking a compassionate counselor to guide them through their journey.
My Background and Approach
I’m passionate about the potential for growth & transformation within a client, regardless of age or the challenges they may face. My professional philosophy is in the belief that understanding, empathy & effective therapy are powerful for positive change, even when confronted with the complex & debilitating impact of trauma. I recognize that trauma, whether stemming from early life experiences or more recent events, inflicts deep emotional wounds that affect a person's life. It’s my mission to provide a safe & compassionate haven where individuals can confront & navigate the effects of trauma. I understand that trauma can touch every part of a person's life, influencing their mental & emotional well-being & their overall quality of life. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, an approach that prioritizes safety & trust.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that life is a complex journey with its ups & downs & challenges weave through it, connecting us as humans. We all experience moments of vulnerability, where even minor setbacks can feel overwhelming. While we often display remarkable resilience, there are times when we need help. These moments aren't signs of weakness but opportunities for growth & self-discovery. Recognizing when we need assistance is an act of courage & self-awareness. Years ago, when my father-in-law passed, I certainly had dealt with tougher problems in my life but for some reason that was something small that really had a profound ripple affect where I had to seek counseling for myself because of panic attacks. Seeking help, whether from loved ones or professionals, reflects our inner strength. Together, we can navigate life's twists & turns with greater understanding & resilience.
