I am a holistic mental health therapist specializing in alternative approaches to healing, with a particular focus on utilizing plants as medicine as an alternative to pharmaceuticals. With a certification in Plants as Medicine, I integrate botanical remedies and holistic practices into my therapeutic work to support clients in achieving mental and emotional well-being. My approach emphasizes a comprehensive understanding of mind-body connections, empowering clients to explore natural and sustainable solutions for their mental health needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where their concerns and experiences are met with empathy and understanding. The initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, establish rapport, and begin building a therapeutic alliance. During this session, I typically start by inviting clients to share their reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. I listen attentively, asking clarifying questions as needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of their background, current struggles, and goals for therapy. We may also discuss logistical matters such as confidentiality, payment, and scheduling. Additionally, I provide an overview of my therapeutic approach and what clients can expect from our sessions moving forward. Throughout the session, I encourage clients to ask any questions they may have and to share any concerns or preferences regarding the therapeutic process. I aim to create a collaborative and client-centered space where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing journey. By the end of the first session, clients can expect to have a clearer sense of what to expect from therapy, as well as a foundation for future sessions built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a mental health therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to cultivate a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic relationship with my clients, my commitment to ongoing learning and professional development, and my holistic approach to mental health and well-being.
