Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous or unsure. The first session is really about getting to know each other and laying the groundwork for your journey ahead.
You can expect a calm, welcoming space where you’re encouraged to share what’s been going on in your life and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your background, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping to get out of our work together. There’s no pressure to dive into everything all at once—we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see if it feels like a good fit. Therapy is a collaborative process, and building trust is key. My goal is to make sure you feel heard, supported, and safe as we begin this journey.
