Intro
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My career has allowed me to work with a multitude of populations, assisting persons navigate many challenges in their lives. At this stage in my career, I desire to work with older adults. My birth origins began in the Caribbean where I was raised by my mother and maternal grandfather. I possess great respect for older adults because of my upbringing, so my desire is fueled by past and present. As a mental health therapist I view my role as that of a potential human conduit to assist my clients to connect what was, what is and whom they want to become in this stage of their life. Some of my focus areas of practice include self esteem issues, grief, life adjustments, relationship or family issues, and caregiver stress. But know, whatever the issue presented I will be fully present with you on the journey.
How would you describe your approach to care?
I like my clients to know that working with me means they have entered a relationship of safety and care. I believe in actively listening to understand who my client is. I won’t jump to conclusions, as I view everyone as the best teller of their story. I believe in showing compassion and being patient with the counseling process. I believe that calm and encouragement create the right environment to assist clients as they navigate the issues they may be facing. I am here, dependable and consistent.
What should be expected in the first session?
What an exciting moment, the first session! This is where you and I meet each other, and we begin the journey of building rapport, establishing expectations, and me educating you on what the therapy process may or may not look like. This is a great time for questions and identifying the goals you would like to work toward. Please know it’s okay if you’re a little nervous, you’re human.
