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

First sessions are usually the easiest - we get to know each other, you tell me what has been going on and we set a plan on how to move forward. This is also the moment where you can ask me ANY questions you might have related to the process of psychotherapy. Sometimes getting a picture of how things work can ease the mind.

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

Almost a decade ago, tight after grad school, I dove in working with the most severe mental health cases in an inpatient setting. From there, through out the years I've also worked as a psychotherapist for executive professionals, and have also worked as a psychotherapists supervisor. One word that would describe me is Ubuntu - "I am what I am because of who we all are".
