What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will explore reasons for you seeking support, as well as, any other relevant information that will help us develop a path to your goals. We will discuss what is important to you and how we can best fit therapy into your current life/schedule. We will discuss specific goals and potential ways to attain them. I will meet you with kindness, compassion and humor so you can overcome obstacles and habits that may be getting in the way of you being the person you want to be.
