What does a first session with you look like?
Sometimes we’re able to choke back the things that we’ve been through. Sometimes we aren’t. Sometimes, in an effort to protect ourselves, we come up with all kinds of strategies to numb the pain of our past, and present, and many of us by now, have established some pretty harmful methods to cope. Health always suffers. You can expect transparent communication designed to improve your ability to accept and manage the stressors of an unkind world. There are no fancy tricks. I will do my best to understand what you tell me, and, you can expect me to say, “I don’t understand” when I don’t. You can expect me to focus my attention on patterns of behavior that increase conflict, and you can expect that I will prioritize your values and wellbeing in our sessions.
