What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, you can expect a warm and collaborative atmosphere with a non-judgmental stance and genuine care. We will work collaboratively to discuss concerns, goals, and challenges. I will provide an overview of the therapeutic process, establishing a trusting relationship, and share insights into how our work together will unfold. Together we will begin laying the foundation for a supportive and personalized therapeutic journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider include compassionate understanding of end-of-life dynamics from my hospice social work experience, proficiency in navigating the complexities of impatient psychiatric care, and a holistic approach that integrates traditional clinical methods with expressive arts. Clients benefit from my ability to create a supportive environment that fosters healing through diverse modalities, making my approach truly comprehensive and tailored to each individual's need.
