What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, build rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths include providing empathy, understanding and compassion. I am genuine and sincere. I create a safe space and non-judgmental virtual environment for clients to feel comfortable to express themselves about the most important things in their lives. I have a passion for serving and helping others become the best selves that they can become, helping individuals and Families become a Beacon of Light for themselves and others.
