The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths as a provider include my communication style is Supporter/Relater: I am empathetic, compassionate, calm, cool, and collected. I purposefully work to avoid unnecessary conflicts. I am happiest when everyone is getting along, and I can be found to be the person who puts herself last if it means peace and harmony are the end result. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own pain and challenges in life. After I worked to receive my own healing, wholeness and wrote my story of survival, I began to develop empathy and compassion for other people who were hurting. Now, I consider myself as a healed healer moved to help others by instilling hope for a better future.
