First session
The first session focus is getting to know each other and building rapport. You should leave with a sense of whether I'm the correct therapist for you. Therapy works best when the relationship feels safe and collaborative.
Strengths
I thrive in engaging clients and establishing rapport. What stands out about my therapeutic approach is its flexibility, practicality, and focus on real-life impact. Rather than following a single framework, I integrate techniques from evidence-based approaches such as l cognitive-behavioral strategies, DBT, solution focused methods, and mindfulness. A key strength is the balance between insight and action. I don’t just help explore underlying thoughts or emotional patterns; I also emphasize clear, manageable steps you can apply in your day-to-day life. The goal is not only understanding, but meaningful change.
Ideal clients
I’m the most effective with client who are aware of what they need to change but ambivalent on how to do so. These clients are self-aware. insight into problems, motivated but yet stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. The clients might have challenges anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, depression and/or relationship challenges. During the initial session client might not be aware of goals want to identify but will collaborate with patient developing goals in treatment.
