Please feel free to request a free 10-15 minute consultation.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges that your'e facing. Along with gathering some history about you, your family background, and what you've already tried, this will help me create a tailored plan to guide us in working through follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I help people who are struggling with depressive symptoms, anxiety, life stressors, adjustment, anger management, stress management, family and relationship issues by facilitating positive change in their lives and assisting them in identifying the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome challenges/obstacles and reach their full potential. Please be aware that for minors, I greatly appreciate a parent or guardian attending the initial session to ensure consent is provided and to gather any potentially relevant background/historical information.
