The intake will be the first session with me. In this session we will get a basic overview of your life, relationships, and current challenges. We will develop a treatment plan based on goals that are important to you and will be ready to start the therapy process the following session. In order to help you with current challenges you are experiencing I will focus on using evidenced based practices related to your struggles. Overall I use a person centered approach which in a nutshell is based in empathy and puts the client in the drivers seat of therapy. I am here in the passenger seat to help support you and give you tools to address the challenges you face.
