Who does "the work"? Therapy is a collaborative process in which the therapist and client both put in effort to help the client meet their goals. Who is your ideal client? I work best with clients that are ready for change as I offer a solution focused approach. I work with clients from all walks of life and support the BLM movement and am an LGBTQ ally. My focus is trauma-informed care. I want you and I to work together to help you. When will I start feeling better? How soon do we process my trauma? There is no "quick fix". However, the question I may ask to this is, how long have you felt this way? If it's been some time, you can imagine it's going to take some time for you to feel how you would like. However, the goal is little by little you feel better and better until you get there. There is not an exact time frame, as everyone is different, and each treatment is geared to you. However, I will not flood you or have you jump into trauma processing 3 sessions in, for example. I want people to feel better and too fast of an approach has the opposite effect. I help ensure feelings of security in the therapy room first. With that, trauma can be processed in a safe enough place so you can heal and that is what I want for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- As always, Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to talking to you and finding out how I can help. I hope to support you in your journey.
