What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a mental health therapist, my unique background as a retired veteran with 20 years of experience in rescue operations sets me apart. My firsthand exposure to the complexities of human nature in war zones equips me with a deep understanding of trauma and resilience, allowing me to offer a distinctive perspective and empathetic approach to supporting individuals facing overwhelming mental health challenges. My transition from physical to mental rescue work demonstrates a profound commitment to helping others navigate and heal from difficult experiences.
