Getting Started

What you can expect on a first visit . . .

Typically, the first session is about telling your story and describing the issues that cause pain or turmoil in your life. My number-one-priority is to help you feel safe and comfortable, so I encourage you to disclose information only when you are ready. Information remains confidential. Together we will fashion a treatment plan to help heal the issues, working in an environment of empathy, support, and encouragement. The healing process occurs at your pace.

You will have a little paperwork to fill out prior to the first session, so arrive about ten minutes early and we will have a full hour to talk.
