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

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where we’ll take time to get to know each other. I will start by asking you some questions about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to achieve. This will help me understand your unique needs, goals, and challenges. We’ll also discuss your background, any current stressors or difficulties, and your emotional well-being. My goal in the first session is to establish trust and make sure you feel comfortable. We’ll explore what you’d like to work on in our sessions together, and I’ll explain my approach to therapy, including how we can best collaborate toward achieving your goals. While the first session may feel more like a conversation, I’ll also begin to introduce some strategies or techniques that can help you manage immediate concerns, if appropriate. By the end of the session, I want you to feel more confident about the process of therapy and have a clearer sense of how we can work together to support your growth and well-being.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships based on trust and collaboration, which are essential for lasting change. With over 7 years of experience, I use evidence-based practices tailored to each client's unique needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I take a client-centered approach, adapting strategies to meet each person where they are in their journey. I’m committed to helping clients gain practical tools to manage stress, navigate challenges, and achieve personal growth. My flexibility allows me to adjust my approach as needed to ensure therapy remains effective and relevant. I’m also dedicated to ongoing learning and self-reflection, which helps me stay connected to the evolving needs of those I serve. I prioritize creating a collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing. Above all, I’m passionate about supporting individuals as they work toward their goals and improved well-being.
