What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, you can expect it to be very lax with us. I use the first session as a chance for us to get to know each other and to help you to become more comfortable in working with me.

I am a very laid back provider. I will dress more on the casual side in our sessions and I will not present myself as clinical. While being very clinical in sessions work with some clients, I know that it often does not work for others. I work to make you feel as comfortable in our working relationship as possible and help you feel confident in your decision to share information with me that you may not be comfortable with others in your life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Clients that notice the best results with me are ones that are able to verbalize and identify what they are struggling with or what they are wanting to work towards. Even if you are not sure what you want to talk about, but if you have an idea of what you are unhappy with, we can start there and figure it out as we go.
