When you arrive on your first session, please feel free to make yourself comfortable in the waiting room. We have complimentary water, tea and coffee available in the kitchen area.
Our first few sessions we will focused on getting to know each other. Counseling is a funny setting to start with pouring your heart out to a perfect stranger. It will take some time for us to build a trusting and safe relationship.
As we go, we will dig deeper into who you are and how you got to where you are, basically what is your story and how can you learn to know it enough to love who it has made you to be. My goal is to provide you a safe place to be you—and begin to make sense of what is going out outside of my 4 office walls.
My goal as a therapist is not to tell you who to make your life better, but to help you see that you have the tools inside of yourself to do that. I prefer that we meet weekly to establish a consistent rhythm with our work. There is no set frequency recommendation, as everyone is different and we all need different things in different seasons.
