This open dialogue is vital in helping to recognize the experiences that have shaped one's journey and the challenges one currently faces. The purpose of this insight is to assist my clients to cultivate effective coping strategies that improve mental health.

Hi there. The decision to take time to engage in therapy is huge. Talking to a stranger & not knowing what to expect from them. Not every therapist is going to be a good fit for you. This is your service & you are paying for it. I always say our 1st appointment is about you taking charge, coming in & meeting me & deciding if this is going to be a good fit. If it is that's great, if its not and you feel comfortable to say this I will be delighted to recommend a colleague. I will fully support you in this. I take each person as they come and we work together at their pace. Everyone needs and deserves support.
