My ideal client would be a client motivated to attend treatment and are amicable to engaging in goal setting. I would imagine myself working with adults/late adolescents who have experienced trauma, present with trauma reactivity, anxiety, depression and self-injurious behaviors. I can see myself working with a client who is willing/able to engage and amicable to exploring themselves and motivated to take ownership of their own treatment.

I approach clients with a strength based/interpersonal approach where the goal is what they identify and are motivated to work towards. My school of thought entails approaching a session as a learner and learning from the client who they are and understanding their goals while offering interventions and resources to meet their needs.

I approach each session with the mindset that my client knows themselves best. It is not my place to express who you are rather, your space to explore and grow into the person you wish to become.
