With each step of my career as a therapist I have discovered fragments of myself, pieces I had disowned but needed to reclaim to truly empathize with my clients. Through that perseverance, I have emerged not unscathed, but enriched, understanding that confronting my own challenges enabled me to extend a hand, not just as a therapist, but as a fellow traveler in the labyrinth of healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your initial counseling session, you can anticipate a warm and welcoming environment, fostering a safe space for open dialogue and self-exploration. This pivotal meeting often begins with introductions, setting the stage for me to establish rapport and trust. You may delve into your reasons for seeking therapy, share your goals, fears, and aspirations. I will outline the counseling process, discussing confidentiality, boundaries, and the collaborative nature of the therapeutic journey. Assessments or inquiries into personal history and current challenges might also take place, guiding me to understand your unique experiences and needs. Overall, this initial session serves as a foundation, laying the groundwork for a therapeutic alliance built on empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Through compassion, I listen to client's struggles without judgment, nurturing an atmosphere where healing unfolds in the embrace of unconditional acceptance. It is this profound empathy that paints a canvas for transformation, instilling hope and empowerment, lighting a path toward self-discovery and resilience in the hearts of those I have the privilege to guide.
