+What happens in the first session?

I invite all of my clients to show up exactly as they are. That means, feel free to be comfy! That's one of the nice things about video sessions :) Once we are in the session, we will go over any questions about the paperwork and then I will share some information about my therapeutic style, and what you can expect from our time together. You will then be invited to share your story. Our first session will primarily be a time to identify what brought you to therapy, as well as establish goals for therapy.

This early time is significant as I come to understand your history and any other contributing factors related to your therapy goals. This is also a significant time for you to decide how you feel about me! The fit between therapist and client is crucial, and I want you to feel genuine connection so we can do the best work possible together.

If all goes well, we will schedule your next appointment!
