I've been a helping professional now for over twenty years. My career began as a Licensed Vocational Nurse/LVN working with those affected by physical health conditions. Additionally, my counseling background includes providing individual & group therapy to those impacted by suicidal ideation/thoughts, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and more.
It is my goal to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey. And to assist them with developing a plan that allows them to see positive gains concerning their mental health. I also, aim to specialize in helping those impacted mentally by the emotional toll of physical illness.
A first session might look like building a strong rapport with the client, which would entail gathering info about their background (psychosocial assessment) and what they feel are the most important issues they'd like to address regarding their mental health challenges.
