First session
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what’s been going on for you. We’ll spend time discussing your current concerns, your background, and what you hope to get out of treatment. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’ll ask some questions to help me understand your mental health history, medical background, and any treatments or medications you’ve tried before. Together, we’ll explore your goals and start creating a plan that fits your needs — this may include therapy, medication management, or both. The first visit is mostly about listening, learning, and building trust. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and talk about what feels most important to you. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
Strengths
My Greatest Strengths One of my greatest strengths is creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to open up and be themselves. I take time to truly listen and understand each person’s unique story before making any recommendations. I also bring a balanced approach to care — combining evidence-based treatment with genuine compassion. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes, I focus on helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical coping skills. My background in both physical and mental health allows me to see the whole picture — how the mind and body connect — so I can provide comprehensive, individualized care.
