I have been in the field of mental health for 29 years. My goal as a therapist is to help you achieve ultimate happiness and peace in your life. As human beings we can not go back and change our past but we can find the tools that can help us live our lives fully and find the ways to use our full potential. I will listen to you and will try my best to support you in finding the path to happiness by practicing and using the tools and methods that are helpful and tangible.
Being able to provide a safe environment for the clients to release their sadness or grief regarding past issues and traumas while helping them start the healing process and being able to achieve their full potential in life.
First session
At my first session, my clients can ask me any questions regarding my experience. After my introduction, i will do my initial assessment which also includes health questions so that I can rule out physical issues that interfere with mental health. I then take a history of client’s life so that we can determine our goals, short term and long term. At the end I present my treatment plan. I will always listen to my clients and if they have an immediate concern, I will try to find time so that their immediate need is met.
