What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Through out my experience working with clients I have been described as a good listener, calm, empathetic, and understanding. My goal is to create a safe place for clients where they are empowered to explore their difficulties with guidance.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
My experiences are vast - from early childhood emotional neglect, alcohol addiction and RECOVERY, to being a new parent with post partum depression, divorce, returning to school and surviving 2020. I can relate to many people and their varying feelings.
Are there any recurring themes or issues you’ve noticed as you treat people in your area of specialization, and how has this insight guided your approach?
A recurring theme on current issues are their experiences with care received from birth and throughout their childhood. Through study of attachment theory I have knowledge of core difficulties that were useful in childhood though are no longer needed as an adult. Intergenerational trauma is some people only normal4; though I believe change is possible.
