When developing treatment plans, I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the client's unique needs, followed by collaborating with them to establish realistic goals. I believe it’s essential to incorporate evidence-based practices while allowing room for client feedback to ensure their plan is tailored and effective.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of age populations, including children, adolescents, and adults.

I utilize a mix of empathetic listening, open-ended questions, and various therapeutic techniques, such as mindfulness and cognitive restructuring, to engage clients. Establishing rapport is crucial, so I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment that encourages honest dialogue and self-exploration.
