In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I know that starting therapy can feel a little overwhelming and it’s normal and expected. Our first session is all about getting to know you and understanding what led you to schedule an appointment with me. My role is to support you and work with you towards goals that are important to you. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and scheduling an appointment is the first step toward positive change.
