Female Therapists in Aurora, OH

There are times in our life when we can feel "stuck" and unable to move forward to live the life that we desire and deserve.

I believe that clients are the most knowledgeable experts about themselves.

If we are asking about my "ideal" client, I would say that it is someone who is open-minded. Someone who knows that having struggles is OKAY. Someone who knows that their flaws do not define them. We all have flaws, and that makes us human! It takes a STRONG person to be able to say "hey, this doesn't feel good, I think I need to ask for help", and then DO IT. Life outside of our control is already so chaotic, why not make attempts to bring peace into our lives?

I believe that each person has the ability to make positive changes by learning and practicing new skills and strategies to apply in whatever areas of their life they want to improve.

For counseling to be successful, the client-counselor relationship must be safe, supportive, respectful, compassionate, trusting, and confidential. Our relationship must be a safe haven in order to discuss concerns and to explore ways to realize growth, healing, and a whole and healthy way of being. Our work together is based upon my deep respect for your innate strengths, building upon what is already successful for you. My approach to therapy, and its length, will depend on your particular needs and goals. Together we can identify the problems and potential solutions in a straightforward and understandable manner.
