Engaging in conversations with individuals is of utmost importance to truly understand their communication styles, preferred topics, and approaches to therapy. Every person has a distinct life journey that is meaningful in its way. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of their communication preferences, interests, and therapy methods, it is essential to initiate meaningful conversations with individuals. I firmly believe that every person has a unique story to share, and their stories hold immense value. My ultimate objective is positively impacting people's lives by bringing about transformative changes, one person at a time.

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

The first session with the therapist is usually an initial meeting where you get to know each other. During this first visit, you'll have the chance to share information about your background, current concerns, and objectives for therapy. The therapist may also ask you questions to understand your situation better and identify any potential obstacles to progress. As you progress with treatment, subsequent sessions will focus more on addressing specific issues and working toward your goals.

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

As a therapist, my primary objective is to establish trust and comfort with my clients. I strive to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for them to share their thoughts and emotions. Additionally, I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs. I aim to provide effective guidance throughout their journey, and I excel in building connections, being flexible, and constantly learning.

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

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in assisting clients who are dealing with various mental health challenges, including trauma, depression, and anxiety. My work has taken me across multiple settings, including schools, hospitals, private practices, athletic facilities, and mental health systems. When working with clients, I provide therapy services to both adolescents and adults, perform comprehensive psychosocial assessments, develop customized care plans that are tailored to their specific needs, work with clients in the community, and ensure that there is seamless coordination of care and follow-up to guarantee that they receive the best possible outcomes.
