What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will give us time to get to know each other. You’ll need some privacy, as I'll be asking you some questions to build rapport and a safe-trusting relationship to help foster your inter-strengths, nurture your resilience, and explore healthy ways to identify, process, and manage your daily life stressors for emotional and mental health wellness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience working with complex trauma, complex PTSD, veterans, and clients experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, and being overwhelmed - you are not alone. One of my greatest strength is to be able to listen to other to not only hear but to better understand without judgement, shame, nor labeling.
