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

First session the focus will be on rapport building. Rapport building is a relationship characterized by agreement, mutual understanding, or empathy that makes communication possible or easy. This is done by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for one to express themselves open and comfortably. This can provide an opportunity for the client to experience firsthand my personal style and decide if my style is a good fit for you. After all, this is all about you.

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

My greatest strength, I have been told, is the ability to provide a safe place where individuals have felt not only comfortable, but a sensation of engaging with an old friend. I believe in the power of words and attempt to be cautions in the words I speak and provide support, guidance and a place of peace and kindness.
