What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is usually a feeling out session. However, I will be open, empathic, while utilizing active listening skills to ascertain if we are a good match for this process. In addition, this would be a judgement free session, that allows the client and therapist to build a rapport.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength is the ability to listen without judgement, while assisting my client in formulating a plan that actives their own personal strength and plan of action.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with those in the helping profession arena. Client growth and progress can be very rewarding for all parties involved I'm honored to be part of the mental health community.
