Please feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation. I offer online therapy sessions to accommodate your needs and preferences. Let's embark on this journey together, towards a healthier and happier life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the initial session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where they are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns at their own pace. We discuss the client's reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve from our sessions. I may ask some questions to gain a deeper understanding of the client's current struggles, emotional state, and relevant background information. This helps me tailor the therapy approach to their specific needs. I provide an overview of what therapy entails, including confidentiality, the therapeutic approach I use, and what clients can expect from future sessions. I encourage clients to ask any questions they may have about therapy or the counseling process. We then schedule the next session together. Overall, the first session is a collaborative and supportive experience aimed at laying the foundation for a productive therapeutic journey.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In my role as a counselor, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. By cultivating a strong therapeutic alliance built on empathy and trust, I aim to provide a confidential environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their most intimate concerns and experiences. I firmly believe that each individual holds the inherent wisdom and strength within themselves, and my role is to facilitate their journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we collaborate to explore insights, develop coping strategies, and navigate challenges, empowering clients to tap into their inner resources and achieve their therapeutic goals.
