My goals for you
Throughout our work, I encourage active participation and engage patients in treatment planning and goal development.
My first session with you
In the first therapy session, you will have an opportunity to ask questions and get to know me. We will also discuss what brought you to therapy and begin to discuss goals. During the assessment phase, I use a biopsychosocial lens when gathering information about your life and background.
