The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, review relevant background information, and talk about how we can work together to support your healing. It is also a chance for you to ask questions and determine whether the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself.

The length of therapy varies based on your individual needs, goals, and the concerns you want to address. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy focused on a specific issue, while others choose longer-term support for deeper healing and personal growth. We will regularly review your progress and tailor the pace of therapy to what feels most helpful for you.

Finding the right therapist is an important part of the healing process. The relationship between client and therapist should feel safe, supportive, and built on trust. During the consultation or first session, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a sense of my approach. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your healing journey.
