I tried to create a relaxed and open environment where clients feel they can be open, honest and gain a better understanding of themselves and their issues, and hopefully grow and continue to improve in their life's journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was initially attracted to counseling because I have a fascination with psychology and I wanted to utilize my skills to be helpful to other people. Through the years I have grown to become a good therapist, I thoroughly enjoy working with clients and learning as well as the unique challenges that being a therapist brings every single day.
My goals for you
I tried to actively involve clients as much as possible in setting goals. I try to utilize and approach as an ally to the client with some tangible and simple goal outcome with flexibility to make adjustments as needed.
My first session with you
During the first session, I may utilize a clinical assessment, which is basically a lot of standard questions which is helpful in order to understand the nature of what led the client to seek counseling. I try to get to know the person and try to establish some rapport, I try to make the experience as relaxed as possible. I also try to formulate a basic treatment plan and I answer any questions the client may have, I typically give some insight and some guidance on the first session.
