First session
It is important for me to acknowledge that making an appointment with a new therapist and showing up is a big step. Trying new things can be scary and it is my goal to create a calm and supportive space. You can expect to be heard and given the opportunity to express your goals and hopes for the future. I normally schedule my session for 60 minutes, but if you are looking for a shorter session time, please let me know and I can work with your schedule.
Strengths
My biggest strength is the ability to listen to my clients with compassion. While I might have had a similar experience, or not at all, how we interpret situations is different and unique to everyone. I am experienced in post-partum depression, trauma, abuse, domestic violence, crisis management, grief, anger management , self-esteem, mood disorders , anxiety and panic , Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) , self-harm, compassion fatigue, workplace issues
