How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I always start with the goal trust. Trust is the foundation of any relationship therefore I was encourage my clients to build trust in therapeutic relationship. Communication is very important. Clients decide what goals they want to work. I assist my clients works their goals.
What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?
The biggest barrier is not knowing where to start, not having the time, or where the right help. One positive thing that COVID 19 brought was telehealth. It enable us help get help at home. No drive time for client.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am very nonjudgement and accepting. I treat my clients the way I wanted to be treated. I do not put everyone in a category/box and assume one therapy style fits all. We all different and unique therefore we should be treated that way.
