I believe everyone has a story to tell, and change occurs in therapy because of the relationship between the client and the therapist. I strive to connect with each client from a place of acceptance. I approach counseling from the perspective of gaining an understanding of each client's experience with respectful curiosity, not to 'fix' people, but to help build a strong therapeutic alliance.
What exactly is a 'therapeutic alliance?' It is a cooperative working relationship between the client and therapist and considered to be an essential aspect of successful therapy. The key elements of the therapeutic alliance include an agreement on the goals of treatment, agreement on the tasks, and the development of a personal bond made up of reciprocal positive feelings.
It is my goal to provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can be at ease to work through painful and challenging life experiences and issues. From the first day, I started counseling with Nicole she has been amazing!
