I am 36 yo with complex mental health history of my own. I use my life experiences and what has worked for me and former clients to help whatever situation you are stuck in. Therapy to me is a joint effort between client and therapist that is constantly re-evaluated to make sure we are on track to the desired result.

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

In the first session we review what is needed for GROW and for your insurance. We will start to get to know each other and start to set goals. We will take baseline measurements with psych assessments such as phq. (these are simple surveys) The first session is where you should express concerns and ask questions, although I always allow for re-evaluations.

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

My greatest strength is I am non-judgmental and not surprised or shocked by terrible traumas. I use a lot of the suggestions I make to control my own mental health. I am always genuine.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have worked well with those with complex trauma history and or addictions. I also am good at helping raise self esteem and set SMART goals. (specific measurable attainable realistic timed) I am no expert with dysphoria but I am open and willing to work with it.
