Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is focused on getting acquainted and gathering comprehensive information. Although intake forms provide some understanding, often there are more questions that arise. If needed, you will be provided with a variety of tools and tasks to equip you for the following sessions.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I tailor treatment to the individual, which may include one, or many, different modalities.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I won't set goals for you until I'm certain you can reach them, and you won't be alone in this journey. As a compassionate and caring individual, I am extremely resourceful and can provide you with the tools necessary to live a healthy and fulfilling life. I will certainly encourage you to become the best version of yourself! However, I don't enable. My method is focused on ensuring the best results for you, telling you what you need to know and do, rather than what you want to hear. I aim to optimize your time, understanding its value.
