Great to meet you!

An initial meeting with me will be completing an intake process of me getting to know you - as my client better. Making progress in therapy looks like completing both short and long-term goals and feeling accomplished overtime. I often find assigning homework can be helpful, but I am open to a client centered approach, realizing homework is not for everyone.
