First session
In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your story is honored, and your strengths are recognized. We'll talk about your goals, answer any questions you have, and begin building a foundation for meaningful, personalized work together. There's no pressure to share everything at once, this is your journey, and we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
