First session
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.
Strengths
I have a loving, compassionate, and caring attitude towards my patients. I am a good listener and offer well-researched information to my patients (Evidence-based). I offer family-oriented and culturally competent care.
Ideal clients
I love working with my patients to improve their mental health and well-being. I am not a provider who will push medications and assume that everything will be fixed with a magic pill. I walk the difficult path and help my patients acquire the resources needed to enhance their mental health recovery. I am a mother and treat every child as if it were my own and every adult as if it were myself. I help fight the Stigma around mental health and let all my patients understand that seeking help is okay and the best way to deal with situations. I emphasize that often, the best service that can be provided to a patient is just being a great listener and bring about smiles with a little sense of humor.
