Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first therapy session is a crucial step in establishing a therapeutic relationship and setting the foundation for future sessions. During this initial meeting, I focus on gathering information, discussing consent forms, and introducing different treatment modalities and what to expect in the coming sessions. We will also go over safety protocols, exploring current support systems and any relevant historical information. I will also answer any questions you may be thinking of.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, I bring several key strengths to my practice that contribute to the success of my clients. These strengths include active listening, compassion, and support. I prioritize active listening in my sessions, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood. This involves paying close attention to their words, emotions, and non-verbal cues. By actively listening, I can better understand their experiences and perspectives, which helps in developing a tailored treatment plan that addresses their specific needs. Compassion is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can express themselves freely. My compassionate nature allows me to empathize with their struggles and provide the emotional support they need to navigate their challenges. This fosters a strong therapeutic alliance and encourages clients to engage fully in the therapy process. I offer unwavering support to my clients throughout their therapeutic journey. This includes providing guidance, encouragement, and practical strategies to help them achieve their goals. I am committed to being a reliable source of support, helping clients build resilience and develop the skills needed to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors effectively. By integrating these strengths into my practice, I aim to help clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who is ready to feel better and open to helping themselves. They are motivated to make positive changes in their life and willing to engage actively in the therapeutic process. This client is open-minded and receptive to learning new skills and strategies to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. They understand that therapy is a collaborative effort and are committed to working together to achieve their goals.
