Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we focus on building rapport and trust. We will discuss the client's background, current concerns, and what they hope to achieve through therapy. I will also explain my therapeutic approach, answer any questions, and address any concerns the client might have. This initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a foundation for our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a provider include my warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental communication style, which helps create a safe and supportive environment for clients. I excel in active listening and understanding, fostering a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship. This approach allows clients to explore their thoughts and emotions freely, facilitating personal growth and healing.

This was my first ever therapy session, and I was really nervous. Nakila is everything that I hoped to get out of this experience: kind, warm, empathetic, and solution-oriented.
