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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss confidentiality and limits of confidentiality, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

My greatest strengths lie in my ability to cultivate a genuine connection with my clients. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and respected. With a foundation built on empathy and compassion, I am adept at actively listening to clients' concerns, helping them explore their emotions, and collaboratively setting achievable goals. My strong background in evidence-based practices allows me to provide comprehensive and effective support. I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge and skills to best serve the diverse needs of my clients, empowering them to navigate life's challenges and work towards positive growth and change.
