What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Coming into therapy can be somewhat anxiety provoking.. Meeting someone new, telling them about your life and any issues you are struggling with can feel overwhelming, however, it is so brave! During our first session we will be meeting with each other and going over some really basic information, identifying any issues and goals that you may want to discuss and work on in therapy, why you decided to attend therapy, and how often you would like to be seen. From there we will work on scheduling you for additional sessions in the future.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over a decade of experience working with a wide range of individuals seeking to better their mental health. As a clinician, I have particular expertise in individual counseling, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma, and relationship issues. I have a lot of experiences working in crisis situations which has prepared me to best handle various cases. I worked in a hospital setting for a majority of my career before going into a private practice setting.
