In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We’ll explore your current concerns, experiences, and goals so I can better understand how to support you. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and see if my approach feels like a good fit. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can share at your own pace.
