Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session with me, I will introduce myself and what my role is in the therapeutic relationship. I will then allow them to introduce themselves and we'll review some paperwork and other house-cleaning items. I hope to be able to discuss why the client is seeking treatment and what brought them to me. I would also attempt to get an idea of their goal for treatment outcomes. I'll explain my approach and end with setting up discussion expectations and scheduling for the next session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a provider has always been building rapport. This is a result of my value of integrity. Over the decades, patients have always been able to assess my genuine unconditional positive regard.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My focus population is adults and couples. I'm most comfortable working with people struggling with re-entry, domestic violence, relationship issues, PTSD, substance abuse, sexual addiction, HIV/AIDS, grief & loss, spirituality/religion, depression, anxiety, infertility, LGBTQIA+, and career.
