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

In our first session together, the focus is to start building rapport by walking me through your reason for seeking therapy, letting me know about the challenges your facing. This will help me create a personalized plan and goals for us to work through in our follow up sessions.

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

Being a seasoned therapist, working with people from different walks of life, and having work with children and families for over 14 years, has help me developed a deep understanding and appreciation in supporting their unique needs.
