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

A Warm Welcome: As you step into our session, you'll be greeted with a compassionate and open-hearted approach. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable and understood from the very beginning. Understanding Your Story: The first session is all about getting to know you. We'll discuss your background, current challenges, and what brought you to therapy. This is an opportunity for you to share your story in a supportive environment. Setting Goals: We will explore your hopes and goals for therapy. Whether you're seeking to overcome specific challenges, enhance your well-being, or discover your life purpose, we’ll work together to outline what you’d like to achieve. Holistic Assessment: I take a holistic view of your well-being, so we’ll look at various aspects of your life, including emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions. This comprehensive understanding helps in tailoring a therapy plan that aligns with your unique needs. Exploring Therapeutic Approaches: I will introduce you to the therapeutic modalities I use, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). We’ll discuss how these approaches can support your journey. Creating a Safe Space: Establishing a foundation of trust and safety is crucial. I encourage you to ask questions, express any concerns, and provide feedback about what feels comfortable for you in the therapeutic process. Next Steps: By the end of the session, we will have a clearer picture of how we can work together moving forward. We’ll discuss the frequency of sessions, any initial exercises or reflections, and what you can expect in our future work together.
