What you can expect from your first session:

In our first session, I aim to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can openly express their thoughts and feelings. One of the initial questions I pose is, "What are your best hopes for therapy and our time together?" This question serves as a guide, allowing individuals to articulate their aspirations and envision positive changes in their lives. I am passionate about facilitating personal growth and resilience, and I look forward to the opportunity to assist others in realizing their full potential.
