Our first therapy session is an opportunity to build rapport, discuss your goals, and understand the therapeutic process. I aim to create a warm and safe environment to help you feel comfortable. You may expect discussions about your mental health history, current concerns, and what led you to seek therapy. This is a chance for you to share your goals for therapy, which helps me tailor my approach to your needs. We will also review confidentiality rules and discuss session logistics, including fees, cancellation policies, and how often we might meet.
We repeat what we do not repair. And I appreciate the vulnerability it takes to step outside of the comfort zone. I strive to be a compassionate, logical, and constructive voice amidst your current situation with the goal of helping you to overcome inter-and-intrapersonal challenges and take positive action. Growth looks good on you!

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
