The Process
consultation call
Let’s spend 20 minutes on the phone to see if we connect, and if we believe that I can help you get where you want to go.
Initial Sessions
In the first couple sessions, I will get to know you, and get a sense of the insights and tools needed to move you toward reaching your goals.
working phase
Then comes the hard work of uncovering the experiences that form your narrative, and building the skills to deal with those in a healthy way moving forward.
next steps
Therapy will be complete when you’ve accomplished what you came for, and feel equipped to navigate your next chapter.
