Nice to meet you
In our first session, you can expect an environment that helps you “feel comfortable in the uncomfortable.” Starting therapy can feel daunting, and I’m here to listen mindfully and without judgment. Together, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and how I can support you. Goal setting is collaborative—we’ll identify clear objectives, create a flexible roadmap, and adapt as needed while tracking progress along the way.
