Get To Know Me
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
I believe that the key components to the therapeutic relationship are understanding and trust. As a therapist, it is so important that I get to know my clients as much as I can, where I gain an understanding of their unique personalities, their background histories, and their current circumstances. It is also important that I do what I can to gain the trust of my clients so they can feel comfortable in expressing their very personal issues they are working on.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I believe that developing therapy goals is one of the most important components to the counseling therapy process. Before developing goals, I make sure that I give a comprehensive assessment to ensure that I understand the client well and understand problems they are currently experiencing. I then allow the client to prioritize their issues they would like to work on, and then together, we develop reachable goals that address the issues they have prioritized. I encourage my clients to be flexible in changing or re-prioritizing goals as they progress in counseling.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
In my life, I have struggled with my own mental health issues, which has given me great insight as to how I can support others who are experiencing similar issues.
