Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In their first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive environment where we will work together to establish trust and rapport. We’ll likely begin by discussing their background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. We will also assess their needs and my therapeutic approach and create a plan for ongoing treatment.

Talking with this therapist makes me feel truly heard and understood. It’s one of the few spaces where I feel safe being completely vulnerable. I’m able to process the situations I’m facing, explore my thoughts openly, and work toward real solutions that help me move forward.

I didn’t know what to expect at my first therapy session, but I felt welcomed right away. The space was calm, and she truly listened, validated my feelings, and showed real care. There was a lot to unpack, but she reassured me this was just the beginning. I felt safe opening up and look forward to speaking with her again.
