What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first therapy session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you may have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’ll also explain how therapy works, including confidentiality and what future sessions might look like.
