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

During our first therapy session together, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you will feel safe to share openly. We'll start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll take the time to listen attentively to your concerns, thoughts, and feelings without judgment. We'll also review any relevant background information and discuss your goals for therapy. Together, we'll establish a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect. I'll explain the therapy process and answer any questions you may have about my approach or techniques. Depending on your needs and preferences, we may begin to explore specific issues or simply focus on getting to know each other better.
