My communication style

I don't like to interrupt clients but sometimes is needed and like transparent and clear communication. With that said I like to assess where the client is at that moment and depending on that the feedback will be more direct suggestions/guidance or allowing the client to decide for themselves by bringing self awareness to their situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been in therapy myself as a kid and as an adult too. My interest in psychology came because I learned rock climbing. That activity helped me to understand myself, social relationships and the world around me better. Then I came to the US to continue my studies and practice.

My goals for you

I want to hear the client goals and if the client doesn't know their goal we can set up together and then collaborate with the client to be able identify the priority of what is more import to achieve first. We set up goal marks and therapy is not forever and if the client has reached the goal/goals then we either set a new goal or say goodbye.

Our first session

I like the first session to be like a mutual introduction and building trust. I like to explain how I work and discuss the reasons why you are looking for therapy and if it is because the client wants or someone told them they needed it. Assess the motivation of the client to change and discuss possible goals and see if we match.
