What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is learning about you, your current challenges, and the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. We will dive into your health history, social networks, and family background, among other relevant factors. At the conclusion of the session, we will review any diagnoses and collaboratively devise an initial treatment plan that takes into account your preferences and priorities.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Drawing from my professional expertise as a nurse practitioner and my personal experience as a young adult, mother, and woman, I have developed a holistic approach to patient care. Through my own experiences, I have come to appreciate the significance of empathy, compassion, and culturally sensitive practices in guiding individuals along their health journey.
