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

In the initial session, our goal is to gather a comprehensive understanding of your background and the reasons that brought you to therapy. This information is essential in developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. Additionally, this session provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have about the process.

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

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my commitment to trauma-informed care. I deeply understand how past trauma can influence a client’s mental health and behavior, even when it is not the primary focus of their current concerns. My approach prioritizes creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, where trauma awareness is seamlessly integrated into treatment. This allows me to help clients feel secure and respected throughout the therapeutic process, reducing the risk of re-traumatization and promoting healing at a pace that is comfortable for them.
