License Professional Counselor

My ideal client would be someone suffering from depression, and in need of effective coping strategies and wanting to reengage with their life. Their depression has impacted their life in whole from their personal, professional, and self-care. My client needs to establish, and practice effective coping strategies that are successful for them. My client needs a safe space, trust, and confidence in their therapeutic relationship that they would feel confident, and reliable to open, and assist them through identifying their triggers, creating goals, and taking the steps needed at the pace they are comfortable with ensuring their safety, and care. My client has the goals of becoming more social, practicing effective and assertive communication through their personal, and professional life. Connecting with their loved ones, and finding the positive of their life, and the reconnecting them to their meaning of importance. My clients strive to become a go to at work, become promoted, develop meaningful relationships that are not stunted by their own low self-esteem, anxiety, and negative thinking. Reconnecting with their family at events, dinners, and special important occasions that they have withdrawn from, and lost interest in. My client strives for wanting to get back to their self-care, making time for the hobbies and interests they enjoy. My client wants to not allow their depression to continue impacting their life, as they have missed out on the very monuments in their life they have always enjoyed. My client wants to go back to loving themselves, reconnecting with who they truly are, and regain their sense of self. My client wants this as they feel trapped, unsure, losing out in life, feeling left behind, and disconnected. My client wants to regain their control over their life and come out of the shadows.

I can help by offering talk therapy, trust, a safe space, and consistency. My client will know they are not alone, and the process that be difficult at times, self-defeating, frustrating, and emotional but I am here every step of the way as their goals, are my goals. My client will develop coping strategies, and the skills necessary through consistent practice to achieve the goals they are wanting independently. In time my client will see all their accomplishments made throughout our therapeutic relationship and build the confidence, their sense of self, and reconnect with their loved ones, themselves, and develop positive relationships in their life.
