What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session: We will take some time to get to know each other. I will gather some information from you about your life, struggles and obstacles you are facing in life. We will also focus on setting some goals and plan for our work together. We will explore what you want/need to help you feel more fulfilled and satisfied in your life. We will also discuss the ways of how we can measure your progress toward achieving these goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work collaboratively with my clients and I provide culturally sensitive and safe space during our work together.
