What should a new client know about working with you?

I am an active listener and will provide a place for you to express your concerns, feelings, and emotional struggles. I will ask questions to clarify needs and provide feedback as needed with clarity and empathy. My journey in therapy began with a desire to help others while I was going through a difficult time in my life. During my graduate studies, I was fortunate to work with domestic violence victims/ which I like to call Survivors. This opportunity allowed me to see the growth and resiliency of others who want to feel empowered and take charge of their lives. Being able to help others thrive and try to do better for themselves is a blessing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first session I will do a needs assessment and we will work together on helping you achieve your goals for therapy. I will provide goal setting within the first 2 sessions and we can create a treatment plan together. During the first session, I will establish rapport with you, we will discuss past, present and current struggles, I will listen and we will discuss what your therapy expectations are. I will provide a safe and confidential space for you to express your emotions.
