Hello everyone. I would first like to say that I am pleased to have the opportunity of being your counselor/therapist. I am a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. I know finding a therapist in todays society can be difficult but you've made it this far, and so it's a pleasure to meet you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing in order to help me create a tailored plan for our work together. We will go over assessments, diagnosis, history as well as what you're wanting to gain from your therapy experience and any goals you may have for your personal growth or development.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I find that I have a toolbox of proven skills that help manage symptoms, facilitate change and guide self exploration.
