What To Expect

The therapeutic journey begins with a consultation call, a warm and confidential conversation where we explore your unique needs, concerns, and goals. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, and for me to assess if our partnership is the right fit. If I feel confident that I can meet your needs, we'll move forward together. If not, I am committed to supporting you in finding a therapist who can best serve you on your path to well-being

During the first therapy session, you'll step into a safe and welcoming space. We'll delve deeper into your story, understanding the nuances of your experiences and laying the foundation for our work together. This session is about building connection, setting intentions, and ensuring you feel comfortable as we navigate your path to growth and healing.

As we progress, we'll collaboratively design a treatment plan tailored to your unique goals. Your therapy journey becomes a partnership, guiding you towards lasting positive change. Throughout this process, we move at your pace, ensuring you feel heard and supported. I value direct communication and will be straightforward when appropriate, fostering an environment of trust and transparency on your path of self-discovery and resilience-building.
