What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, we'll focus on your what brought you to therapy, dive into the specific challenges you're facing, then work to develop tasks and goals to foster the change you desire to see for self and how you would like to begin seeing yourself in the world. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
