In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First session, I meet the client where they are at, create a safe and non-judgmental space for them to trust the process, a brief introduction and then dive into the matters that are challenging their lives. The first session, the mental health assessment will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We will discuss your background, any past history of mental health diagnosis, and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we will continue to build our therapeutic alliance over each session. It’s completely normal to feel anxious about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process. I will praise you for showing up to your first appointment which is the hardest step.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in this field for over a decade, I know that seeking support can be difficult in the beginning. However, asking for help is a strength, and I will guide you through the process of growing and healing. My therapeutic style is genuine, calm, empathic, compassionate, accommodating and personable. Making you feel safe, comfortable and listening closely to your needs will help you trust me and build the therapeutic alliance that is vital to feeling heard and connected to me. Looking forward to meeting you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients facing depression, anxiety, pain, fear, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and motivation. Sometimes clients are motivated to improve their lives, but lack the coping skills and mindset to move forward, as they feel stuck.
