What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical mental health counseling session is a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Sessions often begin with a check-in on how you’ve been feeling and any updates since the last meeting. From there, we’ll work together to process emotions, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs. Using empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques, I’ll gently guide you toward insight and healing. Each session is collaborative, meaning we’ll move at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you in that moment.
