What should a new client know about working with you?
Having over 27years of experience in healthcare and working in inpatient psychiatric facilities has gained me lots of experience managing complex cases while maintaining a holistic approach. I also have a strong focus on crisis intervention, safety, stabilization, and helping clients navigate acute mental health episodes with effective, timely support.
Ultimately, my goal is to build trust, promote resilience, and support each client in achieving stability, improved functioning, and long-term mental wellness.
My therapeutic style includes providing/establishing a calming, secure and compassionate atmosphere for clients to safely express themselves while simultaneously working on their treatment goals. As I work with clients through a collaborative approach, I will guide them towards pathways that will direct them towards self-fulfillment and achievement of their goals in treatment
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Prior to scheduling the first session, I establish with clients a phone consultation session that lasts 15 minutes (which is free of charge) in that I gather basic information regarding their motives for seeking treatment. The brief interaction creates a path for collaborations, improves understanding of patients unique needs and setting a positive motion for selecting the best treatment modalities.
