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

The first session I usually ask "Why did you push send?" this is my way of addressing your acute stressors or current state of mind. With that we usually uncover where you are in this moment regarding needs. I identify potential assessments and tools we may be using. This can also be a good time to review your past experience's in therapy. Then we sometimes end with a grounding exercise or breathing technique. We also assess whether this therapeutic relationship is this is a good fit and next steps. I may inform you of some of an evidence based approach used such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Mind-Body and Adlerian. With all the the main emphases is that each and every person I work with is valued. I am an active listener, use thoughtful encouragement, have a nonjudgmental presence, and use a healthy dose of laughter so we can work toward your goal of living a healthy life.

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

Some of my greatest strengths are being an active listener, open, nonjudgmental, show sincerity and caring. Many of my clients stay and return because I am good problem solver and can guild them to living a value directed life. My education and emphases is evidence based. This means you can research the expected outcome for yourself to gain more agency regarding your care. I use a team approach which allows you to feel more comfortable expressing what you feel is right for your well being.
