What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, build rapport, and explore what has brought you to therapy and what you identify as the specific challenges you're facing. Together we will create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

I understand coming to therapy is a difficult decision for many. I try to make the experience as omfortable as possible creating an environment that creates comfort and safety.
