What to Expect:
It's important that we both feel as if we're a good fit for each other. I first gauge this based on your presenting concern (see above).

I also find that therapy works best when we're both doing the work, which means that I often encourage my clients to come to session with some thoughts about what they want to focus on and/or what reflection they have done based on our previous work.
