Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I do not have an ideal client because every client is different and comes with their own personal life experiences, needs, and goals. I believe heavily in narrative therapy and that the client is the narrator to their own past, present, and future experiences. The only thing I need/want is the client to be open to the process and willing to put in the effort to make the positive changes they want to make.
I can help by being an advocate, active and empathetic listener, sounding board, empowerment and encouragement, and task oriented. Each client responds differently to certain techniques and I feel I can adapt to those needs as rapport is built.
I want my patients/client to feel comfortable and safe in their space with me. I offer the choice to the client to disclose and share at their own time frame. I do not push for client to confide in me until they feel comfortable. I am an empathetic listening and I am here to support you emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
