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

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental space where we focus entirely on you. We'll begin by exploring what brings you to therapy and discussing the specific challenges, feelings, or experiences you would like to address. My goal is to understand your unique story and support your journey from a place of empathy and respect. Together, we'll clarify your goals for therapy, discuss what you hope to achieve, and outline the steps we can take to get there that are tailored to your specific needs. I’ll also provide an overview of how I work and answer any questions you have about the process. This session is all about getting comfortable and ensuring you feel supported as we begin the healing work. Remember, there's no pressure to share everything all at once; we’ll go at your pace. I’m here to guide, listen, and help you feel empowered as we create a path forward together.

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

With over 13 years of experience, I’ve cultivated a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and honed my ability to create a safe, trusting space for clients. My greatest strengths include genuine empathy, adaptability, and a collaborative approach that allows me to meet clients exactly where they are. I’m skilled in guiding clients through challenging emotions and helping them uncover insights that empower their healing and growth. Another strength is my commitment to ongoing learning. I continually seek out new tools, approaches, and research-backed methods to ensure I’m offering the most effective support. Above all, I bring dedication to each person’s journey, encouraging them to connect with their inner strengths and build the life they truly want. My goal is to foster resilience, self-compassion, and lasting change.
