What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is a getting to know you session. You have the opportunity to ask me questions, and I will ask you a lot of questions. This serves as setting the stage of where you are in life and fills in the background pieces.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I work a lot with persons with borderline personality disorder. I have a strong working knowledge of substance use disorders and/or addictions. I have specific certifications in both nursing and mental health with persons in the geriatric community. I also have advanced training in trauma and all that goes with it - the anxiety, the depression, the mood swings. I also treat people in law enforcement, military, and those in the medical and psychological profession. I look forward to hearing from you!
