First session
The first session is all about getting to know each other and building an understanding of the counseling process. I try to create a safe and comfortable environment where we will discuss the counseling process then what the reason for counseling is.
Strengths
I work to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere through being empathetic, authentic, and honoring the strengths of clients. I have been working with teens to adults for over 5 years and continue to grow in my knowledge.
Ideal clients
I work with clients struggling with anxiety, school or work stress, communication concerns, depression, trauma, academic struggles, bullying, family tension, and big life transitions.
