I approach the therapeutic relationship as a client’s journey of self-exploration to increase their self-awareness and understanding. This approach emphasizes the client's resources for becoming self-aware and any barriers to personal growth, places the client at the center of therapy, and allows the client to determine the direction of therapy.
From my experience, clients are much more inclined to own and operate a solution if it is their own. I believe the client has the answers to their questions.
Depending on the client and the situation I use a variety of counseling techniques and theories. I use a comprehensive approach to the therapeutic alliance utilizing techniques from Solution Focused, Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, through motivational interviewing and talk therapy. Essentially, I help the client identify their problem, their resources and motivation for change, and how they interpret and respond to how they feel and act towards situations.
I believe that all individuals have the ability to reach their greatest potential by building a therapeutic relationship built on support, empathy, unconditional positive regard, mutual respect, and acceptance for the client.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Oregon State University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I uphold confidentiality and abide by the ethics, laws, and policies in regard to privacy.
