Getting started…
And it begins…
On your first session, I can guarantee you will be made to feel warmed and welcome.
Have a cup of tea or coffee while you’re waiting!
(Sorry, but I keep the wine at home)
The inviting couch and cozy feel of my office surely will help make you feel relaxed. I will answer any questions you have and am happy to reassure any initial anxieties. I assure you, at 5’4” I am not that intimidating. And, let me know what you think of the ink blots I switch up from time to time.
Courageous as a Lion
It takes an incredible amount of courage and vulnerability to disclose who you are and where you have come from, so worry not – I have no expectations on you disclosing everything in the first session. When we meet, we are simply getting to know one another.
After we feel comfortable, we will chart the course in treatment planning, together, and sift through what it is you want to work on.
Most things in life are fluid, so don’t worry if you find yourself changing your goals as we move through the therapeutic process. To be honest: that is the exciting part of self-discovery, finding more adventure.
The details…
Here are a few things to keep in mind as we chart the course:
The initial appointment will be for 75 minutes where follow-up appointments are typically 50, but duration always remains an option.
Here are some forms you may need going forward:
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the initial appointment to look through the Intake Form
I employ a 24-hour cancellation policy; otherwise, you will be billed at your standard rate on the credit card on file.
Other than that, it is important for me to emphasize that every journey is unique and, therefore, beautiful. No matter what lies on our path, you will not be alone. A supportive and caring companion will be by your side. I look forward to the journey ahead!
