What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, you can expect to engage in an initial assessment where we will discuss their primary concerns, goals, and background. This session will involve exploring your current challenges, including any anxiety, OCD symptoms, or other relevant issues. We will also review their personal history, including any significant life events or stressors. Together, we will develop a preliminary treatment plan outlining the goals for therapy and the strategies we will use. The session aims to establish a supportive therapeutic relationship and provide a clear understanding of the treatment process and expectations.

My style of treatment is an integrative and holistic approach. Everyone is unique and their thoughts, feelings circumstances and experiences through life are even more unique. I tend to blend elements from different approaches and tailor your treatment according to your unique needs.
