What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the initial therapy session, clients can anticipate a warm and confidential space where they are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly. The session typically begins with an introduction to the therapeutic process, outlining the principles of confidentiality and establishing a trusting rapport. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and set goals for the sessions ahead.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Therapeutic strength lies in providing compassionate and individualized support to those facing complex struggles. With a holistic approach, we will together navigate the intersection of mental and physical well-being, offering insight, empathy, and tailored interventions to empower YOU on your journey to recovery.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have developed a particular specialization in working with deaf and hard of hearing clients, and clients with deaf or hard of hearing family members. I am trained and proficient in American Sign Language (ASL), and is passionate about providing therapeutic support to families in this population without relying on interpretation services.
