Counselor
My ideal client would be someone who is open to therapy but isn’t sure where to go. They know they are struggling personally and socially but don’t what steps they need to take to move forward in their life. They will be struggling with anxiety and people pleasing tendencies that impacts their happiness. There has been history of self harm and they are struggling with issues from their childhood. The goals would be to develop stronger communication skills with their peers, reduce their anxiety and anxiety symptoms and feel an overall self peace in their life.
I can help by providing a space for my client to express their concerns and understand where the underlying issues of their anxiety comes from. Using CBT we will work on changing their thinking around their behaviors with friends and peers. We will practice mindfulness and tapping to reduce and calm their body and thoughts.
I want my patients to know that I have also struggled with anxiety and i am still actively working on myself as well. I want my patients to feel safe and comfortable knowing that they are in a judgement free zone and are able to express anything without worry. I want them to know that I care and will be there for them throughout the whole process of their therapy.
