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

Your first session will start with a warm and welcoming introduction. I aim to create a comfortable and safe environment where you feel at ease. We will spend some time getting to know each other. This is an opportunity for you to share a bit about yourself, your background, and what has brought you to seek counseling. You can expect a compassionate and professional environment where your mental health and spiritual well-being are the top priorities. Together, we will lay the foundation for a meaningful and transformative therapy experience.

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

I am known for empathetic listening, patient-centered care, and evidence-based practice. Believes in an integrative approach to mental health, combining medication management with psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and alternative therapies.
