Get to know me

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

In my initial consultation, I like to let the client know a couple of "house keeping" guidelines and what to expect going into their first session . During the initial session, I gain background information that will help set the stage one the client is ready to discuss their presenting problems.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am non-judgmental and I work at the client's pace, not mine. I use reflection so as to ensure that I'm hearing the client correctly. I am client-centered. I want to know about the client's family of origin and I like to get that information by asking, for example, "What was meal time like when growing up?" I also like to provide activities and coping mechanisms that the client can utilize when they are experiencing negative feelings.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients that are looking to gain self-confidence and who are looking to find ways to cope with the issues they are experiencing, whether it's anger, depression, anxiety or insecurities.
