First session
People should know that I have many years of lived experiences as a HB (human being). I empathize with people who are stuck in trauma or just in life. I work very well with people who feel lonely and isolated. Clients have said "You don't give homework but all I do after a session is process what we've talked about and want to learn more about me."
