Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our initial session, we'll begin with introductions and then get into the specific challenges you're encountering. Understanding these will assist me in developing a personalized plan for our future appointments. My primary aim is to support you in gaining clarity, setting objectives, and pursuing a rewarding life. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to navigate their feelings and thoughts, enhance coping mechanisms, and strengthen resilience.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a diverse skill set that includes empathy, active listening, effective communication, strong problem-solving abilities, adaptability, self-awareness, and a deep commitment to continuous learning.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have experience working with individuals of all ages. Therapy doesn't always have to be long-term- sometimes specific challenges can be addressed in just a few sessions.
